For me, there is nothing quite like the thrill of bringing home a box or two of books from the annual library book sale. For my book-loving readers who will want to know, here is a list of what I bought: Cookbooks: Celebrations on the Bayou – Invitations to Dine in Cotton Country Style The…
Book recommendations?
This doesn’t happen often but I’m having trouble finding a book that really captures my attention. I have a whole list of books I want to read but I’m not really in the mood for any of them. I think I want something kind of light…maybe a bit humorous…set in the South or a small…
