Welcome to another In My Mailbox, hosted by The Story Siren. I wasn’t really expecting anything this week, but I did actually receive something in my mailbox, as well as an e-book and a bookstore purchase. So here we go: The Reckoning by Alma Katsu.

The Taker has been on my to-read list since it came out last September, but I only recently found time to fit it into my reading schedule. I’m so glad I did, because this is a book that should not be missed. Although the cover design is lovely, it didn’t really prepare me for the […]

It’s Top Ten Tuesday once again, hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. I love this week’s theme, because I am a visual person and I’m usually drawn to anything with strong graphic design. This week I’ve gone to the stacks and randomly pulled out books with covers I love. It’s hard to pick only […]
