Last spring, I joined a “tipping pool” with other readers of this author in picking the winning teams each week for the Australian Football League. It took me at least 3 months to figure out that the sport was not, in fact, rugby.

I stayed up way too late the night I started and even managed to keep reading while … Continue reading Book Review: Catalyst (Chain Reaction #1) by Aurora Crane
