Appropriate Reasoning



You have to admit these are perfect gifts - Books that is - The printed word will never go out of style for any gift giving reason.

Two pertinent lists from Jessica James, author of Shades of Gray, posted on Amazon:

I love the reasoning of this gal. It makes perfect sense to me. And thanks for mentioning A Christmas Dream: A 3-Act Play. It (and the book) is sure to warm the cockles of your heart on a cold winter day.

Thanks for your comments Janet - and yes A Christmas Dream is originally Janet's novel that I adapted to a screen play for small/community theatre groups. It is a delightful Christmas story guaranteed to make you smile, cry and smile or just plain laugh out loud. Check it out at your local bookstore or online store of your choice.
Thanks Janet!
