As we enjoy celebrating the 25th anniversary of Columbia Metropolitan, our staff continues to put together lists of our Top 25 covering various topics. As much as we love reading magazines, we also have a fetish for page-turning tomes! So for our Top 25 this month, we have complied a list of our favorite reads.
As summer makes way for fall, the timing couldn’t be better to curl up with a good book! Also, check out our weekend book reviews on our blog, Cola Town {Curated} at ColumbiaMetro.com.
