So this made my day. I've been hoping #CarmenandGrace got to be a subway read for someone! I see those escalators! Thank you for the share and your very generous words of encouragement @jfkenney.
Today's subway reading. Excellent new novel by @mcossaquino , who I teach with. It's both poetry and suspenseful, not an easy combo to pull off.
