Sometimes you have to get lost to find yourself. I feel as though I could chatter on and on about Wanderlove by Kirsten Hubbard. While reading Wanderlove, I wanted to pack a few of my belongings and set out for the unknown. I wanted to see the world. Seriously, the most exotic place I have […]
Okay For Now Gary D. Schmidt Audiobook Review
February 6, 2012
I’m absolutely in love with Okay For Now by Gary D. Scmidt.
