pickJonathan Franzen manages to make St. Louis feel claustrophobic. I love a good “nothing actually mattered“ ending -- so many people have their lives irreversibly damaged through Jammu's conspiracy, and the conspiracy itself fails. Everyone gets screwed! Amazingly gutsy anticlimax. I loved this book.
I thought I would struggle with today's photo challenge (like @Library-Belle I expected this to be a Janet Evanovich post), but a perusal of just one of my bookcases (there are many) revealed all of these! Who knew? Lots of books with numbers. #somethingforsept
