A quick invitation here at the top of the episode because I don't want you to miss a brand

new free book list I have for you.

This one is a collection of favorites for Mama.

So if you're feeling like you want and need to fall back in love with your own reading

life and to do it with a book that I'll suck you right in, then this is the book list

for you.

Text the word retreat, R-E-T-R-E-A-T to the number 33777 and I'll send you that free

book list as soon as it's ready.

I'm putting the final touches on it now.

Happy reading.

I enjoy reading picture books, but for me it just doesn't quite compare to a good children's

novel.
