Jordan Rich Show Winter 2011 Book List

LISTENER SUGGESTIONS BONNIE THE BOOKLADY'S PICKS ON THE PROGRAM JORDAN'S PICKS

Curling up with a good book on a cold night? It doesn’t get much better. Talking about books on my show with listeners from across the country? It warms the heart. My thanks to so many wonderful callers and of course “Bonnie the Book Lady” for helping me with this new book list. Remember, you can find these on line or ask your librarian or local bookstore.
