It took me a long time to buy Ally Carter’s Heist Society because when I walked by it in the bookstore I just saw the big sunglasses and the word society and thought, no, I have too much Gossip Girl in my life as it is. And then I finally looked closer and I freaking…
This week’s POS post comes from me, Christine, the girl who does not have enough hours in the day to read as much as she’d like and who has a serious book buying and requesting problem. I blame NetGalley for my e-book POS. They make it so easy to request books that sound really good…

We’re trying a bit of a different format with the Pile of Shame posts starting today. We’re going to rotate through all the reviewers here on the blog, so we can all share our shame. I volunteered to go first, as I started this, and…well, I need to incur some public shame in the hopes…
