More on Books Changing Us
I was so fascinated by Maureen’s post that I started to comment, and then decided to make it my post for today. I’ve written a previous blog post or two about how books can change us. Maureen’s points are all valid and … Continue reading

What Sort of Reader Are You? by Kathi Macias
