This may be the most easily satisfied wish on my A to Z list, because I wish I had a copy of Stephen King’s N. which was published early in 2011. I’m way behind on all of my reading, and I already have a supply of unread King novels in my bookcase, but the synopsis …Read More

M is for Movie: My A to Z Wish List
Some of my wishes are small ones and some are big ones, but this one is gigantic. I wish one of my books, published or unpublished, would make it to the big screen.
