Latest Review: The Elf Revelation by Jordan David

Oooh... good question. I've read so many good books this year. I don't know if it would be my favorite read, but my most memorable read was Behind Broken Glass Walls. I didn't know it was going to make such an impact on me. It helped me to know I needed to be more aware of things happening around me. Also to be aware of judging others. You don't always know the whole story. Great topic!
