This was book #2 of yesterday’s “needing some light reading while sick” double header. I picked this up based on CBR reviews because so many of you loved it. Lesson learned: y’all know what you’re talking about. This was a perfect sickday book (except for how late I stayed up to finish it).

I’ve written over 52,000 words describing my reading exploits this year – and that is neither an exaggeration nor an estimate. This is […]
