It Takes Two

Bookbox# 11 It Takes Two put together by lellie & MrRedhouse . Quite a few familiar faces on the list, which is always nice.

Sometimes the bookboxes can be a bit duff, so was happy to see 5 books that I was interested in as well as 2 more that I had read. There is something for everyone here, but 2 authors jumped out as I have read previous books of theirs. Thanks!

Taking out:
The Reading Group
The House of Sleep passed on to a friend
