[“BLA and GB Gabbler” (really just a pen name – singular) are the Editor and Narrator behind THE AUTOMATION, vol. 1 of the Circo del Herrero series. They are on facebook, twitter, tumblr, goodreads, and Vulcan’s shit list.]

So, our favorite part of Saga Vol. 2 was the part where Alana tries to get her so-called “Work Friend” to read a novel so that they can both talk about it.

“I don’t know Alana. Sounds a little…boring.”
“It is! That’s kind of the point, I think!”
We need more novels that are a little boring. A little boring with a point.
Ugh, and please don’t comment on the crappy phone pics of the pages. They’re just there to give you a general idea. Don’t get your panties in a wad. We’re writers, not photographers. Geez.
