The Sunday Mix (1)

It's going to be a weekend of changes around here, starting with yesterday's recap (and the lovely new sections) and finishing off with today's newly minted The Sunday Mix. Taking inspiration from The Monday Mix, A Sunday Retrospective and Stacking the Shelves, it'll be a little combination of all three. I'll be sharing some great links, as well as any book hauls, and you'll most likely be seeing these bi-weekly. Welcome to The Sunday Mix!
