My opinion on books I am curently reading
I just finished reading Why I am a Christian by John Stott.

The Rodeo Murder is the title of the 3rd mystery in the book 3 At Wolfe’s Door, by Rex Stout.

But the ending was satisfactorily explained.
Here is my first post under my new catagory of Book Review. I want to keep track of the books I read. Now that I am not in school, I can simply read for pleasure, no pressure of a test, don’t have to remember details and dates. I usually don’t even remember the author’s name.
