🎡I've been turning all these pages all the live-long day.
I've been turning all these pages, just to pass the time away.
Can't you hear the books a callin', "Read us early in the morn!"

6) A book with the word "snow" in the title
The Snowman Killer by Wendy Meadows

This book was just okay. The plot certainly surprised me but not always in the best way. I wouldn't really recommend it

Sunny | 2311 comments Danny Boy is haunting me this morning ...

🎡Oh, reading friends the books, the books are calling,
From shelf to shelf they call both day and night,
The pages turn and all the words are falling,
We must, we must read β€˜til ending is in sight.

The pages turn and we all keep on reading,
Allowing words to surround us day and night,
It’s we’ll be here and we will keep on reading,
Our books in hand until the ending is in sight.🎡


Gonna' go get some books shelved and will check back in later and do an update.
