Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir by Jenny Lawson (aka. The Bloggess). I've been a long-time reader of Lawson's blog, The Bloggess, and I finally got around to picking up her book. And if you like the humor and writing on her blog, you'll like...

I, Morgana by Felicity Pulman. I received a free copy of this book for review from NetGalley. I've long been fascinated by the legend of King Arthur, especially retellings where new perspectives or unexpected elements are added. Consequently, as soon as I saw this...
