I have no excuses. I’ve owned To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han for years. Once again, I was afraid of the hype. I promise one day I will learn.

Cinder by Marissa Meyer *Stephanie’s Review*

Kyle Kingsbury plays the role of Beast and Lindy fills the role […]

How to Hang a Witch was exactly what I needed […]
