ey ho, Worm here. Not a lot of titles to read about this week,
sorry. I don't want to make excuses, but I kinda-sorta lost control
and binged on several of the week's books before anyone had time
to read 'em. Oh golly, it was glorious. No not glorious...I mean,
it was terrible. Now I'm really, really sorry, because now you
don't have hardly any book reviews to enjoy and savor. Please accept
my sincerest apologies.
I'll probably be punished. Perhaps they'll exile me to
Texas, where the ground is dry and hot and inhospitable to worm life.
Perhaps they will sic army ants upon me. Ouch, I surrender! Maybe
they'll shoot me up with crack and watch me squirm. Or possibly speed. Or just squash me with a rock until I've reached
the end, my beautiful friend.
Please, please don't do any of the above. Because I'm sorry.
I really, really am. No more yummy books. Never ever.
