About Us
We are two completely obsessed, sad, sick addicts when it comes to books. Faced with threats and cynicisms from our significant others and because of the massive amounts of time and money we spend at Amazon.com, we resorted to getting books delivered to our offices and then smuggling them into our homes (in huge handbags) to avoid detection. Here we found a perfect outlet for our obsession! Reviews, recommendations, and other ponderings are our specialty.Sponsors

Squeeeee! I am so pleased to have won the Simon and Schuster swag. Happy Smugglivus!
I am Scrooge won’t happen to be a zombie remake of A Christmas Carrol would it? I keep seeing old classics being edited to have zombies everytime I go into Waterstones. Can’t wait to read Ilona Andrew’s post, Magic Strikes was one of my favourite books of his year.
& I won! *dances*

(“his year”? Woops, I meant this year. Why does my T button not like me?)
Yay you got Ilona!
OMG, dudes… what a week you have lined up!!
O.o
Can’t wait.
