I had goosebumps while I was reading the first few pages, poetry in black and white graphics - so so powerful. You should check that out too. I love how books just happen to find us at the perfect moment. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-77403158108890398462013-10-21T05:20:41.151-06:002013-10-21T05:20:41.151-06:00Ooo...
