Another book that has sat unread on my shelf for a year or two – probably closer to two… But there was a thought provoking gem that I’m glad I finally cracked open. Eric Hardie and I never crossed paths
Summer Reading Review: The Relevant Classroom
Summer Reading Review: My Planet
Oh my goodness! I can never seem to get enough of reading Mary Roach. As an investigative author, I have enjoyed her deep dives into a variety of topics. This book was a complete surprise – pleasant surprise. I can’t
