I would have a really hard time picking a favorite for this one. In the end, I think I would go for The Virgin Suicides cover : I love the design, the picture, the title, and it really grabs my attention. I’m also in love...

Have you ever asked for a book of a specific title and ended up with the wrong one? In a similar fashion to “The Artsy Shelf” and other covers’ look-alike features across the blogosphere, “Sound alike” will present books with similarities… but in their titles. Some books share incredibly similar names, and sometimes – gasp! – they’re exactly the same! If you come across books with similar titles you’d like me to feature,...

“Filling the Shelf” is in fact a “In my mailbox” but with a title that suits my blog. 🙂 Click here to see what others have in their mailboxs! All things considered, this was quite a reasonable week.

This week, among other things I posted a new giveaway and a new comic! I also shared with you my discovery of a wonderful...
