reconstruction.

I love books. I love books you can hold in your hand and flip the pages. i also love my Nook aka Minnie Nookerton for her ability to hold an amazing amount of books that can travel with me everywhere. This is where I got into some trouble...

I may have downloaded a bunch of books and then never found the time to read or finish them all. Most of them are from 2015 but there are some stragglers.

So here we are in 2016! I’m going to kill 2 birds as they say...reading my list of books and writing about them as i go along. I hope you will come along on this journey with me! Feel free to shout encouragement and offer your opinions as well!
