These are some of the books I’ve read or are on my nightstand to read based on recommendations. It is a digital bookshelf that will grow with time and discovery. Tapping the title for any book will whisk you to the book on Amazon’s Smile program where, if you reside in America, you can choose to have a small percentage of your purchases be donated to The 70273 Project. It costs you only a few keyboard clicks to opt in to support The 70273 Project this way, and the products don’t cost you any more than they would otherwise.
Monthly book chats take place around our Facebook Campfire (Facebook Group), and those selections are noted.
Know of other books that ought to be on this bookshelf? Let me know.
