It's Friday yet again and time for a new Book Blogger Hop post, courtesy of Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer. The question of the week was "How often do you visit your local library?".

Book Blogger Hop I usually visit the local library at least once a month. I'm fortunate enough that it takes me max. 10 minutes to walk there and they even have a proper library café within the library, which makes it really fun to visit.

Who’s behind the scam and why was her aunt targeted? When a volunteer from the Senior Project is found m…
