The best things said about it
I'm jumping on the tan of French bandwagon which people in the book review all kind of jumped on last year with this book The Witch Elm.
And I was really intrigued by a cover review we had very recently that Stephen King wrote over her most recent book the the witchel the witch Elm.
Actually it's fall but I just got word yesterday that there is a new ton of French coming this fall coming October her first book since the witch Elm which was a standalone.
Here she is talking about her latest novel a book I thoroughly enjoyed the witch.
Because everyone I know is reading The Witch Elm, I have to ask what are you reading?
