Caroline Gerardo I love Goodreads! It is fun to see what everyone is reading. I also enjoy seeing friends with similar books, then looking at what else they recommend or read. I'm always reading. Sometimes 18-20 books a month.

jesse hanson Dear Caroline,
Thanks much for including me among your Goodreads friends. It looks like your working very hard as a writer and I wish you much success.
Should you find the time and if you have an interest in spirituality, I would ask you to consider my spiritual allegory, Song of George: Portrait of an Unlikely Holy Man for your reading list. It's fiction but is inspired by events from my life.
Namaste, jesse


Cheryl Landmark Thanks for the friend request, Caroline.


Mel Chris Thank u Caroline for ur invite.TRULY APPRECIATED !;-)
