_Heroes and Monsters: An Honest Look at the Struggle within All of Us_ by Josh James Riebock
_Heroes and Monsters: An Honest Look at the Struggle within All of Us_ by Josh James Riebock I am not sure where I found this title. Maybe it was a recommended read from Susan Cain about an introvert. Or maybe it came from someone else that I follow on FB. Sometimes I lose track of…

_The Time Keeper_ by Mitch Albom
_The Time Keeper_ by Mitch Albom So, in my continued reading spree, I thought I would try Mitch Albom’s latest book or latest to my knowledge. This was really an interesting read and a bit different from his past work. The book follows the path of Dor from the past, known now as Father Time,…
