I have a deep and personal love for Billie Holiday. She’s my girl, and Strange Fruit is one of my favorite albums of all time. |
| Favorite books | I read a lot of nonfiction, biblical books, and personal testimonies of faith. I also love true crime, murder mysteries, and suspenseful thrillers, especially books by Greg Iles and Dean Koontz. In recent years, I’ve also fallen in love with fantasy-romance novels, including the A Court of Thorns and Roses and Empyrean series. Basically, I’ll read anything from a powerful testimony to a Mississippi murder mystery to a story filled with faeries and dragons. |
