Wrap It Up!-Book Four

Books For Those Channeling Their Inner Super Sleuth

My Christmas wish for you is this, as we navigate through another trying year en masse, let books be the gift you choose to give. To others, and to yourself.

May they provide an escape, a perspective on the unimaginable, a lesson in how to do better, to be better, a door into a world of wonder, a glimpse at an everyday hero’s inspirational tale, a reminder that laughter is indeed the best medicine, that words and stories are sustenance for the soul, and in our darkest moments, a soft place to land.

Find a cozy spot, crack open a book and have a wonderful, joyous, and peaceful holiday season.
