Bloggers are encouraged to share the books they’ve checked out at the library and give a little insight into why they chose them :). *** Saw Never After sitting on a “The Librarian Recommends” shelf and I thought, hey why not! The cover is lovely, the premise looks amazing, and it counts towards my Speculative Fiction Goal! I honestly don’t know how this will be, as this author has never come on my radar yet.
