Recently Read
I didn’t get my Recently Read list posted in August, so this is two months’ worth of reading. I’ve enjoyed a lot of random reading the last few weeks… review books that piqued my interest, interesting-looking titles tucked in Little Free Libraries, a number of juvenile titles, a few thrift store treasures, and of course, library books.

Here are a few titles that caught my eye that are currently free on Kindle. I haven’t read these yet. Be sure and double-check the price before you order since free books are usually available for a limited time only.
