Books I Enjoyed but Rarely Talk About

Top Three Tuesday is my spin on Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl Why I love this The City of Brass really blew me away! I was not expecting what happened in this book to happen! This was one of my top reads from last year and even though I was blown away by it, I don’t talk about it too much! Even on Instagram! I guess it’s because it’s not a romance.

It’s the End of the World as We Know It… and I don’t Feel Fine | March 2020 Monthly Wraps

Last month on I Heart Romance & YA It’s sad and scary times we are in right now, Wormies.
