I take pride in calling myself a Book Lover. Books have played a great role in my life. This blog is devoted to books that enlighten, elevate and uplift. I shall try to provide links to good and great books, besides discussing about them.(Grateful thanks to Jon Sullivan and Public-Domain-Photos.com for freely providing the background photo).
