The act of reading a Juliet Marillier book feels like a homecoming to me. I can remember my first time reading Marillier in 11th grade. I specifically remember because I wrote awful fan poetry and drew awful fan pictures of Simon. After Daughter Of The Forest, I gobbled up every single Juliet Marillier book in the library and was […]
Throne Of Glass Sarah J. Maas Book Review
September 4, 2012
