Deadfall by Anna Carey is the sequel to Blackbird. Essentially, it picks up right where Blackbird leaves off. I decided to give this book a shot despite not being overly enthusiastic about Blackbird because it is SUCH a quick read. I sort of figure, perhaps it can redeem itself and be better. If not, it isn’t like I invested all […]

Spark Joy by Marie Kondo | Book Review
June 21, 2017
