I actually listened to audio during the commute to work instead of read butthey were read so incredibly awesome you felt like the character was talking to you.

You can set a reading goal for the year, keep track of what you're reading and keep a list of future books you want to read and recommendations. The site will also recommend books based on what you've read in the past. It's a really fun and useful website.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924069725237291575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-45102634740812090522017-01-02T19:24:23.002-05:002017-01-02T19:24:23.002-05:00Young adult books by Richard Peck are great.
