It spoke to me.. “Just one peek won’t hurt,” it said. “Don’t I look interesting? No one has to [...]

Torture
So I have today off from my regular job (thanks to President’s Day) and offered to “mind the shop” for my good friend Mandi. For those of you who haven’t checked out her blogs (here and here) Mandi owns and runs Veritas Fine Books and Coffeehouse, which is only about 5 minutes away from where [...]
