The Results!

Wow, you guys totally made our weekend.

The results of the Convince Me posts were extraordinary. There were some suggestions we've already read and some we've never heard of before. We're so happy to have all these great reading suggestions; we're even a little antsy, knowing there's so many books out there we need to read.

But there can only be one one, and the one book we'll read and review is "American Skin" by Don Degrazia, suggested by James and seconded by many of you. We grew up in the mid-eighties too. We would head down to Belmont and Clark, all decked out in our North Shore finest, our fake punk make-up covering half our face. We would dance at Medusa's, doing our best Molly Ringwald, while the true punks and city kids were surely laughing at us. Ah, good times.

Look for our review of "American Skin" at the end of August; then we'll also ask for a new book to review.

Happy Monday.
