A Masterclass in Low-Level Dread For a person with limited mobility, sitting in a chair while listening to an audiobook all day is not always smart. That being said, when it is a B.A. Paris book, it is well worth the stiffness I will have later. In...
Echoes from the Cage I’m currently on a mission to figure out who suggested this book to me so I can thank them properly. This was thought-provoking, haunting, and deeply sad, but absolutely worth every second of my time.4.5 Stars. This tiny...
