As Mann ,

Introducing me to new books!

I appreciate new books being introduced to me. After each episode i usually had two or three to my list of “check it out”. I enjoy hearing other’s impressions of books I’ve read. it’s like a little mini book group that I can tap into whenever I need. Keep it up!
