More Book Holders
Posted by limedragon | Filed under books

I decided to write up my experiences with the different holders I tried because it isn’t always possible to tell from looking at a picture at a website if something will work the way you want. During the searching process, [...]

Posted by limedragon | Filed under books

Reviews From the Stacks
Posted by limedragon | Filed under books
I’m glad I signed up for this challenge, it was good to take books off my shelves to read, instead of getting new ones from the library or store. These reviews are listed in reading order. :)
