On Poop and Boogies

Published by Office Staff under Blog

David’s latest novel, True Blue, is reviewed in part in a post titled “Book Review, Kind Of” on Poop and Boogies.

I am not really a superstitious person but I am sitting on the couch watching the Phillies with the book True Blue on my lap. Baldacci writes some interesting characters and the story is a good story so far. The book is a good book.
