Books You Won’t Want To Put Down

It’s that time of the month where I update my library! I look forward to this every few weeks because it is such a great way to escape into the world of imagination for at least a couple minutes a day. If you can read for 10 minutes a day, it’s so much better than none. I have some great choices this month and, as always, there’s something here for everyone!

Happy reading!
