No, I’m writing this for the people who wouldn’t classify themselves as dedicated readers, but who know and love at least one. If you’ve ever made a casual comment to a book lover and received an angry comeback, glare, or snarl accompanied by the reader clutching a book tighter and you don’t know why…read on. (If someone posted this on Facebook and tagged you…definitely read on.) Here are a few things you should never say to a true lover of books.

Book Tour – Homespun

Today I'm introducing you to a book that is rather different than most I've featured here. Homespun Editor: Lorilee Craker This is not a fiction book, and it is not a story.
