Dewey’s 24-Hour Read-A-Thon: Evening Hours
Kind of no point in saying it's hour 17 (even though it is) of Dewey's Readathon, because I started 4 hours late. However, now is when I'll really come into my own.

Maybe that was the problem with this family—they were all in direct competition with one another to see who could bend over backward the farthest, who could suffer the most. Jennifer Dubois’ new novel, Cartwheel, is as knotted and tangled as the judicial system itself. Add the fact that it takes place in a foreign country and you have the makings of a novel that will grip ... Read More...
