Hey there Jessica/Random!

How are things going in the publishing world?

I wanted to let you know that I have officially read my first Random House book, The Gum Thief by Douglas Coupland.

What a interesting and uniquely incredible novel.
Looking forward to reading another!

All the best in the new year!
