Whuh. Where do I even start? Um. I have mixed feelings about the conclusion to the Raven Cycle. I loved it, but it left me wanting.

Happy ship, happy happy ship. *makes heart eyes* I loved every single Blue/Gansey moment so much I thought my heart would explode. MORE BLUE […]

Okay, let’s face it – I’ve been horrible about putting together these posts lately. The books that I haven’t finished have been a lack of interest, not outright distaste, so I just set the book aside as still being ‘currently reading’ and just never picked them back up again. But it’s time to face the fact that I’m probably not going to be finishing them.   The Mermaid’s Secret by Katie Schickel  Genre: Urban Fantasy, Young Adult Published by Tor (5.14.2016) Paperback, 288 pages Source: From Publisher Life on […]
