A toppling TBR pile...
We've got so many new books in this week they're stacked up to the ceiling! We're all adding to our to-be-read pile, come ask us about our latest favorites and books we can't wait to read next.

First Tuesdays will do that to you. And it's the kick-off to the Spring pub season, so it's the biggest Tuesday haul we've had in a while. So enjoy the highlights below, but be sure to click on the link to see the whole list - it's a doozy.
Expect our email for this week in your in-box tomorrow morning. I'm turning control of this thing over to Chelsea. She's more punctual than I am. ;) ~ Dana

She always gives me something to chew on. ~ Dana
