Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor: Review

Here's another backlist I recently read as part of a book club with my coworkers.

BLINK (182) & You’ll Miss It

So the topic on everyone's mind now is... Blink-182 is ON TOUR! With their newest album releasing soon (July 1, 2016 in case you were wondering), they seemed to realize it was time for us fans to have a moment where we can be in the same room as them. As if this wasn't enough…
