  4. I’ve heard some people have been disappointed with what The Dark Unwinding has been offering readers through the synopsis and marketing when they say it’s steampunk when really it is not. But meh! Not like I’ll get around to reading it.

    And looking at the swan and then the lamp behind it... makes me laugh... looks like it has a *hoot hoot*

    Here’s what I got this week: http://bookprobereviews.com/?p=2241

  12. Wonderful haul! What a cute, surprise swan :-) I still haven't read Libba Bray, but I do finally have one of her books on my kindle so I'm a step closer to not being 'that book-blogger who's not read Libba Bray'.
    The Diviners seems to be getting added to everyone's reading list on Goodreads at the moment.
