I’ve begun to compile links to my book reviews on one page for easy access. With four years’ worth of recommendations in the archives, this will be a long term project. So far I’ve got about four months’ worth of review on the page. Got a long way to go, but if you’d like a sneak peek, here it is.
Halfway through lunch, Beanie lets her book fall to the table. She sighs contentedly.
“I LOVE Einstein,” she announces.
She’s reading our small collection of Childhood of Famous Americans biographies, one by one. So far: Amelia Earhart, Sacagawea, Albert Einstein.
