I added Storm Damage by A A Logan to my TBR on 1.26.13. It has a cool cover and sometimes I am in the mood for some quick reading. This is one of those books that I can pick up, easily read a story, lay it down and pick it up later, never missing a beat. Standing in line, waiting for…whatever. Do you ever feel the need for a quickie? 🙂
