I love this book

A great trip down 90’s memory lane! ❤️ It was great reliving the pure joy of no technology of today around except for a beeper 📟.

Wedding Bear Blues

What a great book! Had me guessing until the end. I’m so glad Cissy and Gus could finally be married! I can’t wait to find out what surprise Sasha found!!
