The Sunday Snapshot – Week of August 26th

This week was an emotional roller coaster with reading The Bronze Horseman trilogy. These three books have made me cry more than I can remember crying with any book. It’s an amazing, breathtaking, beautifully written series that is irrevocably unforgettable!
