ARC Review: The Last Namsara by Kristen Ciccerelli

ARC Review: Invictus by Ryan Graudin
I hadn’t read anything by Ryan Graudin before I started reading Invictus, but I had heard great things about her books.

I’m posting this a little later in the day than I usually like — it has been a busy day! Scottish Fiancé ran his first race, so my big sister and I made signs to taunt/support him (see photo below). It has been a really hot day here in London, so there has been a Continue reading
