Yay! My copy of Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House dropped to my Kindle app. Can’t wait to start reading it. For those of you who prefer to hold a physical book in your hands, South Main Book Juggler will have it in stock as soon as their distributor drops it off.
Loudly complaining about an upcoming book and threatening its author and publisher is the best way to ensure everybody will read it.
