I totally stan for Tudor related historical fiction — ESPECIALLY when it is YA based. Don’t make fun of me, but I totally ate books like The Other Boleyn Girl up. When Katherine Longshore made her debut with Gilt last year, she filled a much needed void in my reading life – that void of compelling, sort of romantic, […]
Star Cursed | Jessica Spotswood | Book Review
June 13, 2013
Note: Born Wicked Spoilers ahead. You’ve been warned. Who does not love witches? Seriously, I cannot name a single person.
