Stones from the River: World-Changing Books by Women Series
Summer reading time! I love reading novels and mostly read them at bed time. They help me turn off my thinking mind and slip into another world. But summer gives me the chance to kick back and chill on a blanket in the park. As a girl, I was kinda obsessed with World War II. […]
