Welcome to another In My Mailbox, which is hosted by The Story Siren. This week I went a little crazy on Amazon. So many new YA titles have come out recently, that I couldn’t help myself. I also was surprised to receive a book in the mail that I requested almost two months ago, and […]

I’d fallen in love with a flesh-eating member of a superior race currently living beneath our feet.” I “met” Kate Evangelista online and helped promote the trailer for Taste.

That’s right, people. This is my 100th post! I know this because WordPress told me my last post was my 99th. I’m very excited to have reached this milestone, and reviewing The Earthquake Machine is a great way to celebrate.
