Oooh, I’m excited to share my book reviews for February with you. And what a varied group they are. I didn’t plan it. Often my books are simply devoured in the order they become available at the Fayetteville Public Library. (I have a long wait list of books at the library. Doesn’t everybody?)

  5. in January when you order Girl Scout cookies, you should ALWAYS triple your order just in case.Continue Reading
