Tome Sweet Tome
I have recently been going through all of The Son’s books (he has quite a collection) to put away some of the ones that are way too young or old for him. There are so many wonderful classics there, that I decided to share with you the list of my all time favorites in the order (more or less) that I loved them. I always think you can learn a lot about a person by their bookshelf, so here is a little bit more about Hey You.
