The Importance of Plot
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, July 18, 2020
I have this gig where I make summaries for new books that come out- a shortcut, if you like, for those who want to appear bookish without actually reading the damn thing. Or perhaps they are just looking to see if the actual book is worth their time.
