Advent Day 5, 2019: Family Book Exchange, The Hardcover Edition

This year’s Advent Family Book Exchange shall henceforth be known as “The Hardcover Edition.” Go big or go home. Everyone’s going to pick a name from a hat and buy that person a real “traysure” in the form of a hardcover book, new or used. We’ll also grab a book for a donation.


Our Family Book Exchange Picks for 2019

Note: Since we knew what hectic schedules we were going to have today, we pulled names from the hat a few weeks ago. These books were all ready to go this morning at 6:30 am, before everyone started the morning hustle.
