One for the Road: Bold Spirit

One for the Road: Bold Spirit May 12th, 2007 at 9:01AM: Sometimes I get to read the One for the Road books that I mention before writing about them here at Gadling. Other times, I simply share basic info about a book that I think may appeal to some of our readers, without having read it myself. I know that not every book mentioned will interest all -- frankly, some don't even interest me, but I try to offer up a mix that hopefully resonates with a ...
