I will not lie you guys, I totally picked Wait For You by J. Lynn aka Jennifer Armentrout to read because of that cover. With a cover of people making out comes a reasonable expectation of sexytimes. I know people like to shit all over New Adult because IDK, they don’t like books with people […]
The Weight Of Water | Sarah Crossan | Book Review
August 19, 2013
I was lucky enough to have the privilege of attending a brunch held by Bloomsbury Children’s at BEA.

Leila Sales, I am in your fan club. Legit, I am at the point where I am ready to nix my pile of doom and pull out my copy of Mostly Good Girls because that is the only Sales book I have yet to read. Then again, perhaps I will be like Shanyn and put it […]
