We all love books, don’t we? It’s probably why you’re visiting my website. So, I thought I’d share a few of the books I really love—and a picture of my bookshelf at home. Yep. This is really my bookshelf. My hubby Roy is a pretty handy carpenter and wanted to try his hand at the diagonal shelves we’d seen. I think he did a great job—as the authors of the wonderful books I’ve reviewed below have done. I hope you’ll enjoy reading my reviews as much as I enjoyed reading the books. It’s my joy and privilege to encourage other authors by sharing their talent with you. (If there’s a link included in the review, it’s likely an affiliated link, connected to an account that shares a tiny profit with me.)
