Book Review: Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn
This book was reviewed for Netgalley ‘They’re battery operated and remote controlled by Satan.’ ~Elvis, on June bugs Humour books are not usually my forte.

Book Review- Constructed of Magic and Other Poems on the Immortality of the Human Spirit by Louis Alan Swartz
