I recently got sent another great book to review for the BlogHer book club, and the review is live today.
Here's what I had to say:
A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness is like a combination of Harry Potter, Twilight, The DaVinci Code, a thriller, and a good romance novel.

THANK YOU for reviewing this. I've been eyeing it up every trip to the book store but I didn't know anybody who had read it. So now I'm obviously buying it instead of milk this week. Everyone will be thrilled.
