Reader Resources
Don't forget to check out My Favorite Authors. I have links to my favorite authors' websites and reviews of my favorite books!
I need some new links! Do you know of any great reader resources on the web that are free and fun? After a recent link update, I found my list whittled away by the removal of outdated links. Now I need some new ones. Feel free to email me any suggested links you have.
