Upcoming Reads: Tobin says she always looks forward to any new novel by Stephen King. With great “anticipation,” she also is “determined” to continue her literary relationship with Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin.

Memorable Reads:  The works of J.R.R. Tolkien—especially The Lord of the Rings books—is the best set of literature she has ever read. “Tolkien just created this vast, endless universe; and it just can capture like nothing else.”

Essential Reads: “The Holy Bible is the ultimate book to read if you want to better yourself.” As someone who regularly reads the Bible, Tobin says it’s “a great and simple guide of what you should and shouldn’t do.”
