Good Girl, Bad Blood by Holly Jackson – the sequel to A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. Pip is back and this time she has a podcast! US vs. UK editions… I read A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder in March and loved it! When I noticed Good Girl, Bad Blood on the Blackwell’s website (free shipping to the US!!), I was so excited. I anxiously went to find the US pub date and was a bit confused when I couldn’t find anything about it. So here’s where it gets a bit odd… I read the US edition of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder and the story takes place…

England Book Haul: YA Books
Last month I spent a great 10 days in England. My husband and I stayed in The Cotswolds and London and did day trips throughout the Cotswolds, to Oxford and Blenheim Palace and to Windsor. I’m looking forward to sharing more about these destinations! I went a little book shopping crazy and ended up bringing back a lot more books than I originally planned on, but I have no regrets! Plus, even with the exchange rate, books are cheaper in the UK than in the US! I’m going to break my book haul into a couple posts and I’m starting today with my YA/Middle Grade purchases.
