For Review:

Girl Meets Boy: Because There Are Two Sides To Every Story edited by Kelly Milner Halls (Vine) — I’ve already started reading this, it’s not bad so far.

The Wicked And The Just by J. Anderson Coats (Vine) – You guys I am so excited for this book! It is YA historical fiction set in Medieval Wales. FUCKYEAHWALES. Yo. Also a 2012 Debut!

Monstrous Beauty by Elizabeth Fama (Netgalley) – This book has garnered amazing reviews SO FAR and okay I can check out a mermaid book for those kind of reviews.

Of Poseidon by Anna Banks (Netgalley) – Might as well roll with these ocean/mermaid type books.
