Book Spine Poetry #BoutofBooks

#BoutOfBooks 29 Wrap-up
Or: how I failed at reading. So, I had great expectations for Bout of Book #29 – you can revisit my enthusiasm at the start here. However, once the event started I immediately felt this was not going to be a great week for reading. It is so typical because this is what usually happens…
