And the constant arguing for no apparent reason and against all common sense. Who tries to row a sinking boat?!? Scarlett does. If I were Julian, I would have left […]
My Thoughts This might be my shortest review ever. READ.THIS.BOOK. <error> LISTEN.TO <error> <error> THIS.BOOK. <error> A Blockbuster Film in Book Form Seriously. Illuminae is in a league of its own.

Hello Fellow Bibliophiles and Wanderers March was an incredible and extremely busy month. First and fore most, my family was made whole again with my husband coming home after a year overseas! You would think that after so many years the separations would get easier but in truth, they have only become harder. In many […]
My Thoughts Children of Blood and Bone is my favorite book of the year, hands down. It is as epic as it is powerful. On The Surface Tomi Adeyemi creates a beautiful, brutal and immersive world of magic, prejudice and fighting back. The cultures of Children of Blood and Bone are so vivid they draw you […]
