Unless you are the most blessed of readers you have run into slumps, books you could not finish, and those you couldn’t even start.

What I’m Reading This Week (10/19/18)
This is a very interesting reading week for me. For the first time in several months I don’t have any upcoming releases I plan on reading.

Here are my two most ... Read More...
