Book Talk: Three Mini-Reviews and a small work update

Okay, so I have a few books that I’d like to take about before the end of the year and… I’m failing to write long and proper reviews for all of them, so I figured I’d write a few mini-reviews and bundle them. These will likely be the final reviews of the year, but I […]
