I picked up a few new names and recommendations - as if I needed them - but mainly had confirmed back to me a load of authors I already had a knowledge of and books by.col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-4410278130559240022014-10-21T13:12:35.625-07:002014-10-21T13:12:35.625-07:00Prashant, I only lucked on it myself because a Goo...Prashant, I only lucked on it myself because a Goodreads friend was reading it.col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-80699506072444935472014-10-21T12:46:53.503-07:002014-10-21T12:46:53.503-07:00Sounds very interesting.
