Amazon Prime Trial Membership

In addition to being a replacement for Netflix for me (which would be $8 a month), I also can borrow one book a month from the Kindle lending library.

GoodEreader, … Read more

Two New Books by NT Wright

On Vacation

by

I thought I would get a couple more posts in buy I ran out of time. I am now on vacation until April 13. I have some ‘best of’ reviews set to auto-post during the week but no deal or free kindle post because those are time sensitive. See you soon!
