    The “Is It Spring Yet?” Book Haul

    No girl, it’s now summer. What is wrong with you? I found it in my drafts, all sad that I hadn’t finished or posted it since May. It’s been like… 6? 8? months since I last did a haul, so there’s a LOT to look at. But don’t ask, I can’t even explain it other…

  • City of Heavenly Fire – Cassandra Clare (Audiobook – Mini Review)

    City of Glass by Cassandra Clare My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars City of Glass sent me on an emotional rollercoaster.
