It's baaaaaack! I took a short hiatus from this feature since I was away in LA last weekend. But it's time for another round of awesome posts and the books I've picked up since the last time I shared a haul (excluding BEA 2015 books since that has its own post). If you've got any links that you think I should check out, please feel free to leave them in the comments or tweet them to me! Happy Sunday, y'all, and hope you have an awesome week ahead.
