I listened to this on audiobook, and I'm glad I did. The story is told in first person, and we hear Cara talking to an employment program counselor/social worker, but her revelations sound more like she's writing in a diary or at least talking to a traditional therapist because she is so open and honest.

I got Legends & Lattes (this one is a prequel to that) for Christmas & liked it so much, I gave myself Bookshops & Bonedust for New Year & liked it even more - probably, in part, to my love of books and previous life working in a bookshop.

Legends & Lattes was a perfect cozy fantasy - a "new" genre that is sure to become a favorite - to break away from extended family and other obligations to read over the holidays.

I had the pleasure of meeting Anya Martin several years ago at Buried Alive! Horror Film Festival. She has recently published a book of stories called Sleeping with the Monster. I guarantee you haven't read anything like them before. Go get it!
