We are supposed to go camping on Sunday. I just want to stay home and watch the news. Plus it’s going to be raining during most of our trip. Camping and rain is not a great combination as far as I am concerned. Hubby says that is exactly why we need to go. He needs for me to get away from the news and relax for a bit. It’s hard to argue with that. You may have noticed that I had actually stopped posting books on the weekends, but I thought now of all times we could all use a few free books to get our minds off of the news. There are no crowds to fight to get these little gems I found, so relax, check them out and maybe even grab a few to enjoy. Plenty for all!!
