These are books I have read and loved or referred to for good ideas (that is, aside from the children’s books I’ve read!). There are SO many great books in the world; my list is one minuscule sampling, but I’ve sure enjoyed these. I will continue to add to this page, as an index, of the books I review on my blog that fall in this category. So check back again!
