Do you need a few good book recommendations for spooky books to read with your children, grandchildren or other little ones in your life?

My never-ending obsession with books and crafts led me to this post on hand-made books. I can NOT tackle another craft now but I can dream. Perhaps this is best left until after the holidays when the cold winter sets in. Making books by hand seems like it would be a fine craft to try on a snowy day while sitting by a fire.

I am sure you will soon find more books from the Soul Mate Tree series* in my future reading list posts. Let me know in […]

You will probably find several of these in my future reading lists. "Even when you're "grown up," you still have a lot to learn. […]
