I’m sure you’ve mentioned in the past, and maybe I’ve even read the answer and have since slept and therefore don’t remember – but what do you do with those stacks of books? Your house looks like you could have a huge library but even so, you get a LOT of books!
The ARC of EACH OF US A DESERT by Mark Oshiro excites me most.
Just finished the Asaro. Its good
Noir Fatale is next on my TBR list after I finish slogging through The Garden of Rama…
