Dear blog,

I am supposed to be reading everything else, so when a friend emailed me his novel to read I thought I’d never get to it. And then I thought, I’ll read the first chapter. I like his stuff, and I’ll enjoy it.  That was yesterday.  I finished reading it today, and I really liked it. I think you will really like it.  I’m going to email him back and thank him for sending it and tell him that he got me with it. I considered saying all sorts of other stuff, and maybe I will, but it’s a good book.  I’m not going to tell you what it is now, because I’m not sure that’s fair, but I definitely will soon. Oh, and should you wonder, it’s going to be published this year, so I’ll make a point of shouting about it when I can.

Best,

J
