T3: lj user="neadods"> a href="http://neadods.livejournal.com/754445.html">reviews Skypoint, Pack Animals, and Almost PerfectSo, three new Torchwood tie-in books have come out. I've read them and found them to be full of massively depressed people who can't put together obvious clues until ( Read more... )
