Even with my three kiddos in college and two others already graduated college, this time of year gets me nostalgic. I remember looking forward to school starting in the fall and then missing my children by October, ready for winter break. Then ready...
I like to use my platform to help promote others. Usually I'll dedicate one newsletter per month to this where I recommend 2-3 books, but rarely a full blown review. I've chosen to correct this injustice and start showcasing full reviews for at least...
