  1. Some fun stuff, there! At least 2 of those are already on my wish list, but everything else looks interesting, too. You're going to make my wish list much worse, I can tell.

  2. You have some great variety here!You're inspiring me to start keeping track of my own \”finds.\” I see so many great reviews, but without writing them down I forget.

  3. Lots of great stuff there! I do hope you read the Willis book, as she is a particular favorite of mine. Her Doomsday Book was just amazing!

  4. Thank you so much for the link and I am very touched to hear my review made you interested in The Girl Who Could Fly. It was such a wonderful book and the best part is that it surprised me by being a wonderful book!
