Whatever you do, please don't stop reading. Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read books. Read about experiences that differ from your own. Just. Keep. Reading.

MISSTEPS PERFECTING the SHUTTERBUG STRUT --A most offbeat Historical Adventure While often lighthearted, this novel’s essence is not trivial: touching upon the enduring impact of the Great War and posing vivid portrayals of people and places, both unsung and renowned. #books #historicalfiction #jazzage #1920s #humor #supernatural #adventurenovel My link 🔓: amazon.com/dp/B0B8W63VBW
