It’s time for a Book Review: The 7 ½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

(Not to be confused with The 7 Husbands of Evelyn Hugo)
My local library recently did a “blind date with a book” event for Valentine’s Day. I’ve seen this sort of thing before at bookstores, but this was free (and yet I got to keep the book). I wasn’t initially interested; though I quite enjoy reading, my backlog is enough that I’m not generally looking to add to it. But my car was out of commission due to extreme cold, and that meant sharing after-work stops as I carpooled with my wife. She wanted a book, so I went with her.
