THE GIFT OF READING GIFTS

Yay. Moi got gifts! jim mccrary sent over some small books – including one for my “Books on Chairs” project, to wit:

So some appear on my latest update of my Recently Relished W(h)ine List below. As ever, please note that in the Publications section, if you see an asterisk before the title, that means a review copy is available for Galatea Resurrects! More info on that HERE.

And just as jim availed himself of moi invitation, you, too are INVITED HERE!
