Book Friday: Steady (Keeping Calm in a World Gone Viral) by Dr Sarb Johal

After yesterday’s slightly losing it, I did what I always did. At times like this, I channel my inner Hermione and search my shelves. My shelves nowadays are mostly virtual and Kindle based, so I looked in my virtual stacks and found a book I bought last week in a book-buying spree, but had not yet read: Steady (Keeping Calm in a World Gone Viral) … Continue reading Book Friday: Steady (Keeping Calm in a World Gone Viral) by Dr Sarb Johal
