And, to bring it back to the forefront (in case all of our new fellow readers haven’t read it yet), I found another AMAZING recommendation and book review by Cristina that I had yet to feature and I am thrilled to have found it now.

I usually call them “mini book reviews” since they often come in as comments or quick emails (and this review below is a combo of both – Cristina left a comment on the blog AND emailed me because she had so much to say about it), but this one? This is a true big-ass review because she talks about the book, but mostly about her own personal experience reading this book. read more
