The Jordan Rich Show Summer 2011 Book List
A super variety of wonderful books to take along to the beach awaits you. My thanks to so many wonderful callers and of course "Bonnie the Book Lady" for helping me with this new book list. Also a special thank you to Robin Stratton author of the novel "On Air" and writing consultant and editor (www.robinstratton.com). Remember, you can find these books on line or ask your librarian or local bookstore.
