Falling Into Place by Amy Zhang was the most recent book that I’ve read all at once. I bring this up because I think that in order for me to be able to sit in one place with the same book and not feel the need to accomplish all of the things instead, the book has to be super compelling.
The Nethergrim by Matthew Jobin | Audiobook Review
September 21, 2014
