March Book Reviews

Books with the largest marketing budgets may not necessarily be the most compelling or best written. At least, that has been my experience.

Three of these books were recommended by friends. Yay for recommendations!

From Mexico to Paris, dusty Oklahoma to a lush forest in Pennsylvania, I was awed, angered, amazed, and thoroughly entertained by these reads.

I hope you will find your next read in this group of stories. Continue Reading
