Posted on December 10, 2009. Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: , , , , |

Novel Review | PUSH by Sapphire

Bookswim, Kindle DX, And A New Read

Posted on July 21, 2009. Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: , , , , |

As evidenced by this blog, I buy a lot of books. I buy and read more books that I post here, and after a while I end up with, well….many piles of books that I don’t need. Often, I try to re-sell the books to Half-Price books and I end up getting very little back [...]
