But mostly read.

I kind of want it to be more juicy with...

Luckily, I made it down to my favorite place on earth yesterday, and there were ten holds right there waiting for me. Which ones will exceed expectations? Which will disappoint? Which one will sadly be returned unread?
Hunger- Um, yeah, there is no way that Roxane Gay's memoir about her...
