This past weekend---week really---I did a lot of soul searching. Now, before you think I've slipped into some sort of existential crisis (again), let me reassure you that is not the case. (Maybe.) It is no secret that a few months ago I needed to return to a regular eight to five office job again after quitting my last position.

What’s on My Shelf: The Sisters of the Winter Wood
I promised to gush, and so I finally shall... Though I haven't updated "What's on My Shelf" recently, implying I have far more books to review than the title indicates, there is one book in particular which I have been needing to discuss for quite some time.
