WHY DID I NOT READ SLAMMED BY COLLEEN HOOVER SOONER? I picked up Slammed the other night (as in I downloaded my copy onto my Kindle) and began reading it, finishing the book in about two days — if I had begun reading it earlier in the night it probably would have been a one day […]
Doll Bones | Holly Black | Audiobook Review
