    Hello Savvy Readers, it’s nice to meet you! I already know of Shannon and she’s awesome. I just wanted to add that I loved Nancy Drew books then too and my favourite book of this year is Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts so great call, Jason! I’ll be reviewing that book on my blog before the end of the year. I’ve fallen in love with the author! Keep up the great work on the Savvy Reader!
