Why I'm Waiting: Because I love Neal Stephenson and it sounds pretty rad!

ReplyDeleteMy Pick for this week.
THANKS! I stumbled across an ARC of it at a used bookstore and I'm still kicking myself for not buying it!!
DeleteThis sounds actually really awesome! <3

ReplyDeleteSometimes. It depends on the book. :)
