Books We Read – September
This summer I started using Amazon slideshows to set of the books we were picking up at the library. It worked so well (and is more efficient!) so now I’m going to start using them for the intro to the monthly list of books we’ve read. A special shout-out this month to Dawn C. and her boys for all their reviews!
Please feel free to add your link in the comments, on our website (“our book talk” link”) or send me an email: thereadingtub [at] gmail [dot] com. By linking back, I can send traffic your way, and I am happy to do it.
