Hi All!
We’re almost there! My tired aching feet are dreaming of curling up with a good book over Pesach. Lol

I’d love to run into the public library tomorrow to pick myself up a good book. I’d love recommendations.

I enjoy meaningful books, or historical fiction, or something with a psychological twist. I don’t want anything with violence or highly inappropriate material. I understand it won’t be 100% clean and that’s fine....just don’t want a book full of filth.

Thank you !!!!
