I recently started to subscribe to a wonderful site. It is called For Harriet. I also follow the site on Facebook and Twitter. She has some amazing informative articles. The latest post that I read on Facebook is listed below, When you go to the post you can get a synopsis of the books that are listed. I think the first book I’m going to start with is Freedom’s Daughter. Which book(s) have you read or which one will you read first?
Remember “thisisyourbestyear“.
