There are some books where I look at them and imagine there is a badass background theme song coming right out of the pages. Like, when I look at Crown Of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas and see the image of Celaena wielding some swords, I can kind of hear the song Boom by POD – […]
Tarnish | Katherine Longshore | Book Review
June 17, 2013
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.
