Reviews

[Diane]

Picked this up for free either at the library freebie table or at the freebie book case at work. Perfectly beautiful autumn day, took off work early to enjoy it, kick up some golden leaves and leisurely peruse a good book by the author of The Natural House Book. Looks promising! ; 11/9 taking this to California with me, might get some more reading done on the plane.; 6/5 never really picked this up again, so am filing in the 'never finished' category. Enjoyed it, but trailed off.
