The Great Weather Diviner: The Untold Origin of Punxsatawney Phil- Book Review
I absolutely love books that spark conversation. Books that will not only engage young readers, but also educate them and make them think.

Apparently my whole “I don’t read romance novels” shtick is about to go out the window. Because, as it turns out, I do. I read them…and…I like them.
