& a couple of spoilers
Another mix of autobiography, biography, classic, a trip to outer space, and a beloved children’s/YA author trying to branch off in a new direction. Good luck with that.
I read, therefore, I have opinions. Some good, some not so good. Here are five more books I’ve read recently and my condensed reactions to them. If you’d like my complete reaction, you’re probably not going to get it unless you corner me at The Treehouse, a coffee shop in Audubon, one of these Sunday afternoons.
Another collection of books I’ve read recently, presented in one-minute bites not to necessarily influence what you should or should not read – just to give you an idea of what’s out there in case you’re looking for something. Enjoy, or don’t.
To be a good writer, one needs to keep reading. Here are five more books that I have recently read in the order I tackled them. I try to keep a good mix because it’s boring to read the same type or genre of book over and over again.
