A friend of ours is always good about sharing books that she enjoyed with my wife and I. My wife actually read this one first, and I was able to read it this week.

Book Recommendation – Paranoia
Every once in a while I need to bump a book on my "To be read" list up. This happens for various reasons. Sometimes the audiobook becomes available sooner than expected.
