Books I Couldn’t Put Down

I love reading. I don't get as much time to do it as I'd like. I have a stack of books on my "to read" pile right now. I really need to stop going to the library because every time I do, I bring home three or four and the "to read" pile doesn't go … Continue reading Books I Couldn’t Put Down →

A Novel Idea

One of my favorite places to hang out is the library. Last week, my oldest son asked if we could go there so he could look up some things for a homework project.
