Shayne Carter: Dead People I Have Known

Dead People I Have Known  Shayne Carter VUP I started this book before there were any reviews of it anywhere – I was loving it. Like everyone! But shelved it to get to other things. And then (finally) finished it just after every single review had been printed or posted. Lots of great column inches in celebration […]
