The used books though, that’s where I hit a hole. These are usually things I’ve heard about or sound interesting or I’ve already read.... Continue Reading →
So I’m going to be 100% with you here. I really just want to talk about a few stand out books from the past two months. I can’t think of good theme to link them all into besides the theme of ‘Good God Sarah Loved These’ so that is what we’re going to use. ... Continue Reading →
