    I can't wait to see what you thought about Some Girls Bite and the interview with Chloe Neill. Also looking forward to reading Krelsey Cole/Gena Showalter's anthology! And who doesn't want to read Queen of Song and Souls, right?

    Great picks here!

    Whoa! You have the scoops here. Or, at least to me, you do. I love looking at covers like this. Also, like Nath, i'm curious about your Some Girls Bite interview. You like the series? Maybe I need to check it out. Esp as a fellow midwesterner.
