Discussion: Genre Binge

Review: Spellbook of the Lost and Found

ARC Review: Blackwing
Blackwing is a book I heard about on Twitter, a trend I’m noticing more and more for myself. I was curious about it, but not hugely compelled to seek it out. I requested a copy when I saw it go up on NetGalley, and I’m so glad I did. Blackwing was a huge surprise for… Continue reading
