Category Archives: recommendation I have a book recommendation for you. Yes, you. This is my new thing, as opposed to telling you every book I ever read or re-read. Because I have decided that you probably don’t care, and so there you go. But if you’re looking for something, try this. Once I escaped from an orphanage to... So maybe I was busy.
