Review - Every Day by David Levithan

Showcase Sunday #1 - October Haul!

I'm new to the book blogging community, so I did some browsing with other popular blogs and found the lovely Vicky and her blog Books, Biscuits, and Tea. She has a feature called Showcase Sunday that encourages bloggers to post the books they've collected over the last week, which immediately caught my interest.
