Reading for TGB

The working title for Tobias's book is sort of awful, so I'm not even using it in my own head. If I'm brutally honest, I've been thinking of it as TGB, which stands for The Goldfish Book. That's weird on a few levels, I'll admit, not the least of which is that so far there are zero actual goldfishes in the story. There's a reference though, so I'm not just grabbing random words out of the ether, I promise. Maybe one day I'll explain the story behind the fake/real working title, but it won't be any time soon, because it definitely won't make sense to anyone who hasn't read the manuscript.

I can't imagine this will be all that interesting to most of you, but I promise I'll get back to my usual office supply store posts sooner or later. ;D
