It has nothing to do with … Continue reading Educated by Tara Westover

I've been in a bit of a reading slump lately, which means I haven't been posting much (as is evidenced by the fact that I completely forgot t do a March post for this challenge). It also means that my progress on this reading challenge has been stunted. I will say that, as evidenced by … Continue reading Mount TBR 2019 Challenge – March & April Update

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black (No Spoilers)
Wow, okay, so this is the Holly Black that I missed in White Cat (keeping in mind that I struggle connecting to audio books as a rule). What a depraved, fascinating story. But let me tell you, I was HOOKED. It's crazy actually, I read two books, back-to-back, that were similar in page count: The … Continue reading The Cruel Prince by Holly Black (No Spoilers)
