I could seriously kick myself in the shin for waiting so darn long to read In The Shadow Of Blackbirds by Cat Winters. I have had this really awesome book just sitting on my Kindle for months and I just kept on passing over it — for some good books and some bad books. BUT YOU […]
Moon Over Manifest | Clare Vanderpool | Audiobook Review
November 12, 2013
