I bought moon last night. Might not get to read it for a few weeks. I have a Brian Sanderson novel to get through first. Is it better for you for a book purchase to happen somewhere other than Amazon? E-books have been my go-to as they are easier to store and transport.

I follow you because I appreciate your books, your humour, and the fact you are a good person. Not because you are lit-famous. There are lots of lit-famous folks who have the personally of light cream cheese. Thanks for being you! :-)

This weighs pretty heavily on me right now. With the recent news that Trumps team is questioning the authority of the American judicial system to have any say in Trumps Executive Orders. Its right out of history. And if you are cheering this on, you need to re-evaluate why.
