I have this awful habit of buying books and then letting them languish for pretty much forever. I end up getting really excited about a book, purchase it, and then some shiny more pressing book comes into my mail and my purchased book pretty much sits there unloved. However, every once in awhile something jolts […]
Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong | Prudence Shen | Book Review
May 7, 2013
Why’d I Read This Book: I had previously read and loved Friends With Boys by Faith Erin Hicks, I felt the art was great and the storyline was wonderful. When I saw Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong up on Netgalley with Faith Erin Hicks’ name attached to it, I just knew I had to read it. […]
