I was just comparing my Goodreads total with my CBR10 total, and I was missing a book on CBR. THAT WILL NOT DO! Don’t worry, I figured it out, it’s obvs this book.

I can’t actually remember right this second. The summer is melting my […]
The end of the Joe Dillard series

Joe’s wife Caroline taught the little girl in dance class for years, so she’s nearly part of the family. As soon as they hear about the kidnapping, Caroline makes them go over to the couple’s neighborhood and look […]
