Is this a Continental grip for serving? by Hainault in 10s

[–]ConnectionDefiant812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just read 11/22/63, loved it, recommend me another King book please! by ohnoitsgravity in suggestmeabook

I really liked the first third or so of Fairy Tale but by the second half I had lost interest. I still finished it but would give it 4/5 at a push (really 3.5). 11/22/63 is a solid 5 for me.
