I have Been Gone, but Hopefully Not Forgotten

I have been on a professional retreat for the past two weeks and have been studying as well as reading up a storm. I will be posting some reviews very shortly, but in the meantime, I hope all of you are still reading and enjoying and checking out other blogs that give information about good books that stimulate and bring entertainment as well as giving all of us a "window" into other times, places, cultures, and situations. Life is such a varied smorgasbord of experience! And reading opens up so many contexts that are often not possible to enjoy in real life. I would have loved to have had sufficient funds to travel all the places that fascinate me. Since I didn't and don't books are my transportation of sorts. I hope you are finding some good books and will post some of your discoveries.
