COYER had a “books released in 2020 that you meant to read and didn’t” read-a-thon and I had a few to choose from. I’ve been trying to read Walk the Wire by David Baldacci since April.

Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte {Stephanie’s Review}
I read Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte because I thought it sounded like a really good read. It was picked for the July 2020 young adult read for COYER book club.

Plus I just wanted more Jay Kristoff in my life. I really enjoyed Lifel1k3! I kept thinking I knew what was going to happen. I’ve read the Illuminae series after […]
