Welcome back to the Know Me Betterman blog series, which features various fascinating people I know talking about the books they love. (Forgot what Know Me Betterman is? Click here.) This week I'm thrilled to be hosting my excellent compatriot Dom Alvarez, a fellow Simmons alum and maker of delightful crocheted objects. (She once gave me a crocheted bunny head. Everyone, say "Awwww.")
