Book Reviews

When we’re not biting bugs or traveling the world, we are reading up a storm! I decided to make book reviews a regular addition to the blog. If you’d like to contribute, please reach out and I’d be happy to post some guest book reviews too. I’d love to hear your feedback whether you agree or disagree with my thoughts on these books.
