The information below is all taken from Military.com, a list of books for Military Spouses put together by Tara Crooks. I've been reading material by Tara Crooks for a while now, and she is a WONDERFUL motivator. Enjoy! ;)
Most of us can agree there is nothing better than curling up with a good book. Reading a book written for or by a military spouse makes you feel like you are a part of something bigger than yourself and that you have a network of people just like you. There are many great books out there for military spouses and this is not by any means a complete list. But it is sure to give you hours worth of curling.
