I am going to admit something kind of embarrassing to you. Sometimes I pick books to read off of my TBR pile based on their length. I get legitimately excited about very short books because I know they will help me beef up my goodreads reading challenge numbers. I know, I know, I should not […]
Jepp, Who Defied The Stars | Katherine Marsh | Book Review
September 26, 2013
Jepp, Who Defied The Stars by Katherine Marsh has my favorite cover of 2012, seriously this book had me in fits of cover lust when I first saw it. I just love everything about it. However, as we all know, the most important part of a book is not a cover, but what’s inside. The […]
