Bookies Takeover

[image error]



In a bloodless coup, I managed to “take over” the Bookies Book Blog on Facebook on October 12, 2020. Host Beccie Weaver invited me to take over her blog site for two hours with full administrative powers. As far as I know, nobody got hurt in the peaceful transition. God bless America!
