Working in a bookstore has some major perks. One is free books (for various reasons). And recently I found Spidey and His Amazing Friends: Teamwork Saves the Day!: My First Comic Reader!

I also think this is the second book I’ve read in the past month where a character rushed to call another character a murderer for what was really more of an accidental death. I guess I am more technical than the characters, and in the accuser’s defense just because it was an accident […]
