Your Face Value
What’s on the iPod: F*ck You by Cee Lo Green Don’t you love getting books? I’m not your Kindle type, so don’t come singing the praises of yet another computer screen to me, but I appreciate that you buy books in any form. I prefer paper. But my son and his girlfriend sent a package…
