About Me I am a retired librarian and I now support books and authors through my reviews.

I have always loved to read and I was able to share that love through my work as a public librarian for 22 1/2 years. I now promote literacy by reading, and then writing reviews. I love to support authors by sharing my reviews with others!

MY THOUGHTS.....

This Bible is extremely appealing! The soft cover provides ease in laying it flat; the font is easy to read, and illustrations are featured on almost every page. Wide margins allow ample space for making notes, the illustrations and line art encourage artistic endeavors, and there are two pretty bookmarks!

This CSB Illustrator's Notetaking Bible has several useful tools that make Bible study easier, including a table of contents, concordance, colored maps, and a one-year reading plan. My one objection is that the words of Jesus aren't denoted by red print!

This beautiful Bible is a treasure to keep, but it would also be a perfect gift.
