Unglued Devotional
On 2/14 Pam M. wrote: Unglued was a book I chose to read and review because I needed a devotional book. As I read the first few days worth of devotions, I thought how great it was...for those women who tend to be a little emotional. Not me, of course.My husband asked me what the book was about. I told him ... Me??? Emotional???

The Final Summit
On 5/27 Pam M. wrote: Although this was an interesting book, it will not be one of my favorites. As far as fiction goes, the storyline was , to me, a little corny.
