Do you like historical fiction that will break your heart and leave you longing for more? Then read THE SNOW FELL THREE GRAVES DEEP by Allan Wolf. You won't be sorry, but you might be sad. #ReadVerseNovels #HistoricalFiction

One of my new favorite things to do is listen to an audiobook (usually MG) while working on an art project. These are my most recent listens, which I really enjoyed: #kidlit #audiobooks #mgfiction
