Summer Treats:
In summer with heat waves crashing down, sometimes it is too much to handle. We all need breaks so I am here to show you some things as exciting as jumping in cool water on a hot day.
The Great American Read
Recently, PBS started a nationwide online survey to find out what the greatest novel is in America out of a list of 100. While several good classics are on there, there are several books on there that are not clean in the least. Here at RW we are all voting for the books that are clean! Please join us in voting for your favorite clean reads!

Yours &c.
