Review: Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

Review: We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
~My Thoughts~ “Do not accept an evil you can change.” I haven’t included a summary because I think it’s best to go into this book without knowing too much about it. That might be hard to do though because this book is everywhere right now! I’m not on Tiktok or Instagram but I still managed…

Best of 2022!
I know this post is a little late in coming but I didn’t want to move on from 2022 without looking back at some of the best books I read last year. Compared with 2021, I felt like last year was a bit of a letdown reading wise and I think this was partly due…
