RECOMMENDED: The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year by Ally Carter is $1.99! Lara gave this an A:
This book just got better and better with every twist and reveal. Original, compelling, well-written and immersive, this is a great book to escape into. It is perfect for right now, for the holidays, and for re-reading, which I will definitely be doing very soon.
Cover Snark: Crabs, Gynos, & Dragons – Oh My
Welcome back to Cover Snark! Elyse: Is this a PSA? Tara: Or a how-to guide? Do you need hats and/or scarves to transport the crabs after you catch them? Sarah: Gloves, too. Tara: Oh yeah, the tiny ones can go in the fingers. Claudia: Hmm my mind went to pubic crabs, I’m so sorry… Sarah: Oh, me, too. I figured that was why their hair was covered.
