The Invasion Of The Tearling by Erika Johansen | Book Review

Last year, I got really pumped up for Erika Johansen’s debut novel, The Queen Of The Tearling. And with good reason, that book was totally baller.

The Watchmaker Of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley | Book Review

The Watchmaker Of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley is quite a unique book. It is actually kind of cool, to be honest. This book is different from anything I’ve read before and I LOVE that.
