Who doesn’t love Good Housekeeping? Especially when they make the Book Game by enigmatic Frances Wise one of the 50 best beach reads *ever*!

Here "we" are -- that is, the two sides of Frances Wise -- signing THE BOOK GAME at beautiful Goldsboro Books off Charing Cross Road.
Fast work. We got through a *lot*.
