Hi book pals,January was a big reading month over here. It was cold, the real world was generally bad, and I was awaiting feedback on my latest book draft, so had more reading time than usual. Which means, today’s book report is a long one. You might want to open it in your browser to see the whole thing… there’s lots of tasty book-to-screen news worth making it to the bottom for.
