A River of Words: The Story of William Carlos Williams
Jen Bryant
Eerdmans Books for Young Readers, 2008
Richie's Picks: A RIVER OF WORDS
William Carlos Williams is one of those dead American poets about whom I have always had vague-yet-positive sentiments. I believe that some short-time high school girlfriend admired him a lot. I think that I've also seen him listed as an influence on the back of some ...

The Christmas Blessing (Christmas Hope Series #2)

Awesome sequel!
Some sequels go over and over what had happened in the previous book. We had a bit of this, but just enough so if you didn't read the first one you weren't lost. Maybe you missed out, but not lost. I had no idea this was a sequel until I picked it up yesterday. How ...
