Know Your Books

A Stack of Books in front of Blue Bicycle Books, King Street, Charleston, SC  © Doug Hickok


Books, Books, Books!

On cold winter nights, what a joy it is curling-up with a good book. If you enjoy books, or just knowing all about books, take some time to explore Goodreads. This is the place for you, especially when looking for that next perfect book to read. A word of caution though... Goodreads can be habit forming.

    Terrific! Fabulous selective focus! (PS - you South Carolinians certainly made it a joyful night in the Obama household.)
