For those who like funny mysteries
I really enjoyed Stephanie Bond's Bodymover's series. I didn't see it in anyone's recommendations so I wanted to share it in case people haven't heard of it.

I had noticed that my left arm looks more cut then my right arm and I wondered if it might be from having constant light compression on that area from wearing the bodymedia for 10 months now. (I did measure the area and my right arm is 1 inch…
