Book List

We met at the Chapel today and exchanged books that we like, so I thought for those who weren't able to join us, I'd put the list up here on the blog. If you have others you'd like to recommend, please add them to the comments section. I'll try to list by recommender, so you know who to ask about about more details you may want. There were a couple books that I missed, so gals, if you want to add what I forgot, go for it! I've added links to the books, most to Amazon, but some I linked directly to the author or publishers website. Enjoy!
