Do you ever delay gratification with a book? I mean, let’s say you feel like you have been waiting forever for a sequel to come into your hot little hands and you finally get it several months ahead of the publishing date, but you just wait because you desperately do not want the story to […]
The Burning Sky | Sherry Thomas | Book Review
August 8, 2013
When I saw the original cover for The Burning Sky by Sherry Thomas, my initial reaction was DO NOT WANT. I guess the cover made me think science fiction dystopia, which I get kind of tired of.
