At 1:30 Wednesday morning, my dog woke me up so he could steal my pillow. Since I was awake, I looked at the election results. In sadness and fear, I switched over to my Kindle app and brought up the book I’ve been saving until after I finish 3 partially written reviews. Screw rewards, I needed an immediate escape.

When Malin, baxlala, and Beth Ellen sang the praises of The Hating Game by Sally Thorne and compared it favorably […]
