The Book Sail

There are a lot of great books out there, and I want to talk to you about what some that I'm currently reading and planning to read this year. 

I'm back! Let's get back into the boat and sail into some uncharted waters of literature. Let's catch up on how my reading fared for 2021, what I'm currently reading, and my excitement about the Amazon Lord of the Rings series. 

With summer coming to a close, I wanted to review a book that I think perfectly captures the essence of the summer season.
