Reading is the journey of those who cannot take the train. -F. Croisset
I did a lot of reading in the past few weeks! It wasn’t until now that I realized how many places on the globe these books took me. I think I went to four different continents this past month. No jet lag, thankfully.
Some are by indie authors, others are straight-off-the-presses new releases, & others are older reviews of mine from Goodreads.

The Last Bridge, by Teri Coyne (suspense/women’s fiction set in the rural American midwest)
