We just received a giant load of new books. Before they go on the shelf I thought I’d let you know what showed up.

Also; I wanted to take this opportunity to say hello and introduce myself. Some of you may have seen me wandering the second floor with a confused look on my face, or perusing the graphic novels hoping to find some Captain America I haven’t already read. The name’s Jake and I’ll be posting here as regularly as they’ll let me. Feel free to join the conversation and comment down below. If you want to leave a book, movie, or music review, click on the link in the upper left, If you’re looking for something specific not on this front page, check out the links on the right, and if I’m missing something everyone should know about, let me know; I’m willing to admit mistakes.
