Back in 2011, I did a post of 25 books I wanted to read and get rid of by BEA. I thought I might as well do that again this year, so as to eliminate the amount of time I waste looking to select my next read. Seriously, I waste A LOT of time. I […]
The 5th Wave | Rick Yancey | Book Review
April 16, 2013
