As you may know I have a book review blog. There are at least 25 posts each month – books I’ve read as part of book tours, books I’ve read to my students in the library, and books I have previewed for the library or the Land of Enchantment Award.
Once a month I share my favorites from the previous month. If you don’t have time to read all my reviews in a month – this post will alert you to my favorites, ones you may want to add to your collection. Each book is linked to my review post at janemouttet.wordpress.com
