From Bland to Grand: Why a Siding Makeover Can Be Your Home’s Superhero (and Why Top Contractors Matter)

What was it about this book that made me like it so much that I’d give it 4 stars? Well, that’s hard to pinpoint, really. I suppose, then, that I should just list what I liked and what I didn’t like and hope that you, dear reader, can see that you really should read this book.

Book Blogger Hop #9

Forbidden – Tabitha Suzuma

Forbidden is an emotionally charged book. It’s a story of loss, of heartache, of trials and tribulations that no child should ever have to go through, and it is the story of a love so fierce that nothing and no one can stand in its way.

Espresso…Mmm – The Espresso Book Machine
