I took my first sort-of-Shelfie years ago and didn’t even know it! Remember Cheddar, the CraftLit Critter? This was his first photo-op: Is the “Shelfie” Just Intellectual Wankery? |...

Casey and Rosie—oil and water to start… so, then what? A lovely vinaigrette once they get to know each other? Young love is so tough, even in the best of times—and  Casey and Rosie aren’t that lucky.

So Justin has to find...
