Let’s Have a Bite!
Don’t freak out! We haven’t turned into a children’s picture book blog (not that there’s anything wrong with that!). At 5 Minutes for Books, we are still proud to feature books across many genres for children and adults. This week is all about highlighting children’s books, and we are also posting more frequently than you…
Finny: A Novel
Finny is a dramatic character-driven novel that follows Delphine “Finny” Short’s life from early childhood well into adulthood.
