Time for another Book vs. Movie! This time it's Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail, a memoir by Cheryl Strayed. It was the pick for our book club this month, and last night we all went out to see the movie adaptation in theater together. It's...
Time for some book talk! Here's a few reads I'm currently working my way through: New Reads Half a King by Joe Abercrombie. Don't let the fact that this is a YA epic fantasy series fool you. There's a reason Abercrombie's nickname is Lord Grimdark (also his Twitter...
