Why Did I Listen To This Audiobook? Several years ago, I read some of the Inkheart books by Cornelia Funke and liked them a whole lot, as well as her book The Thief Lord. I think she has a real gift for world building and fantasy. So, of course, when I come across her books in my […]

Girl. GIRL. These are the sorts of things I shout when discussing Ryan Gosling or you know romance novels, in an exaggerated tone of voice for sure. Right now as I am talking to you about Falling Into Bed With A Duke by Lorraine Heath, I might as well be giving you my GIRL GO GET THIS […]
