Why Did I Listen To This Book? Samantha Shannon’s debut, The Bone Season began to peak my interest at BEA 2013, when it was this book that everyone seemed to be buzzing about. Then I read Anna’s review for it and was like OMG I NEED TO READ THIS. But y’all, I was daunted by the […]

September 20, 2013
