Did my quiz tickle your funny bone? 🤣 That was the point. I hope this was a bright spot in your day, and that you're taking a few good book recommendations away with you. Oh! I’d love to know your quiz results. Hit reply and tell me! 📚📚📚 Meet Linda Stoll Right off the bat, most of us have something in common with Linda: reading and writing books isn't our life's work. We love to read, and we count it one of life's blessings, but we aren't in the business, so to speak. Like many of us, Linda carves out time to make reading a priority in her busy life, and I've followed her Bookbag column for years, which is usually overflowing with worthy titles to nourish your soul. I think you'll love getting to know her on Library Binding! 📚📚📚 As always, I'll leave you with one irresistible indulgence—oh-so dainty. Your devoted, Michelle P.S.
