Is it getting cooler yet where you are? We’ve seen another heatwave here which had us retreat back inside again. While I can’t wait to get back outside on the hiking trails, the heatwave gave me time to read some great books this week. We are reading books by Hispanic authors in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month which starts today. Additionally, we are traveling through Pennsylvania and reading the newest installment in the Jack Ryan universe!
Here’s the books I’m looking forward to discussing with you this week. Grab your copies of these books by clicking the images below:
