Books

Here are some books, if anyone is interested, that I am recommending to read if you are interested in anything related to: Puerto Rico, Genealogy, Genetics, Martinique, Guadeloupe, etc. (pretty much anything I've been blogging about!). This list will hopefully continue to grow as I add more books to my library and finish reading them. If you have something you would like to recommend for me to read - feel free to drop me a note somewhere on the blog! I'm organizing them in alphabetic order and then added what topic the books deal with, I might change the organization of it a bit later.
