Review
This is a book for every serious reader. It has everything! Some of these authors I have read…but to be honest…most I have not. So, I have created a new tumbling tbr. Diverse authors is now my new go to list!
I enjoyed so many aspects of this compilation. I especially enjoyed the bookstores. Not only do I have more books added to my tumbling tbr, I have bookstores which I must visit.
And the illustrations! I am actually purchasing this as a physical book so I can have the illustrations and the references on my shelf.
Now, this was formatted differently. I read an advanced reader copy for the kindle. I am sure it has been corrected for the future ereader. But I had a good bit of trouble with this. Some words were on different pages and to be honest…hard to find. But, like I said, I am sure this has been corrected in the final copy.
Need a good reference for future reads….THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today!
I received this book from the publisher for a honest review.
