Ever since I got my Novel for Christmas, I’ve been devouring books like they’re a plate of fried calamari from Ronaldo’s in Hampton, New Hampshire. One of the things that I love about my Novel is that I can sample books before purchasing them because, let’s face it, there are some really bad books out […]
