First of all, how is it that summer is already over?! I know this wasn't the case in most of the country, but here in Seattle we never had sustained summer heat, just a few days here and there. It still feels as if summer lies ahead, even though September is chock full of big releases. Having said that, here are two It's Not You, It's Me books. They did not go ... Read More...
August Reading Wrap-Up
First of all, to anyone who looked at this photo and wondered (even for a second) if it was me then if I had a will you'd be the main beneficiary.
