12 - Bossypants

What a way to cap a year of great reading and enduring friendships: 
Bossy humor, cheesy goodness, and the revelation of how bad a bottle of cheap wine can be after two years of traveling the Radical Bookclub circuit. 

New life, in 2013, for the bottle and new reads for the Radicals! 

Santé!
