One of my favorite things at the beginning of the year is to go back and look at the books I read the past year. One fun thing about having a kindle is that I am able to go back and review what quotes I have highlighted the past year. I wish I could say that more of what […]
Here are Big D’s and W’s lists. Big D’s List 1. Inheritance(last book of the Eragon Series) by Christopher Paolini . 2. Harry Potter Series by J.K.Rowlings .
