Reading Wrap-Up: January 2022
I read 9 books in January! What a great way to start the new year! Unfortunately, I didn’t have any 5 star books this month.

I was traveling more than usual, trying to keep up with work, and coping with what was happening. However, that’s the beauty of reading. Books will never leave your side!…

The One Hundred Years of Lenni & Margot Ends Too Soon
“There are some words in the Lord’s Prayer that I don’t know. But I do know the word art. It’s a necessary inclusion, I think. We should all be artists. Especially if God is doing art in heaven; we should follow his example.” The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot – Marianne Cronin My…
