Welcome to my old feature brought back as I try to establish a routine for my blog. One Friday a month I will be featuring a list of read-a-likes for a specific book, or a list of great reads for a specific genre. I do a lot of book recommendations for my job and for class so I figured it was time I share them with you. Happy Reading!
