OUR FAVORITE BOOKS

This page will continue to be under construction for the coming weeks. We plan to add more in-depth descriptions. The one- or two-word descriptors you see today will link to a search component soon. 

And we'll be continuing to add titles to this list indefinitely, as we discover new resources and remember others. If you have titles you'd like to suggest, please let us know by writing to us at pwarren653@aol.com or sjanhughes@aol.com. Or, if you prefer, simply click on  Here's what I think. We'll get your additions on here within the week.
