My immediate first words upon finishing Illuminae by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman were “what do I even do with my life now?†For real, this book took me on quite the journey and I do not know about you all, but when I come back from a particularly great trip, I have this disoriented […]
Atlantia by Ally Condie | Audiobook Review
August 14, 2015
Why Did I Listen To This Book? I had decided to listen to Atlantia by Ally Condie because I quite enjoyed Matched, her debut novel, and sort of enjoyed Crossed and Reached.
