I&#039;ve been finding a whole bunch of lovely subscriptions for books. I&#039;ve tried a couple and have found out about some great authors because of them. I&#039;ve also found a whole slew of boxes I want to try once I get the funds. I figured I&#039;d share some of the boxes on my list with you all. <br />

I am having significant trouble with a review of this book, as my notes are now on three pages. <br />
<br />
It has an innovative idea, but based on real world murders which may make it exploitative. It has a female lead who is, well, to be honest I don&#039;t know. Did anyone else get this book, because if you did could I have your thoughts on it? An online read and critique from the members with it would be very helpful, especially if you can just point...<br />

However, I do have a proposal; that is to go through the stories one by one on the board over the next twelve weeks and get everyone&#039;s review comments and thoughts on them, but to carry this out on the board. The stories are short, believe me, so they will not require as much effort.<br />
