Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo | Spoiler(ish) Book Review

March 31, 2021March 31, 2021

Hai Beautiful! It’s about dang time I read this! What an amazing novel! I went into this novel with only the word of those who have raved about this book/ series/ universe on the internet since its release and subsequent conclusion. I’ve seen the special edition in my book store for months now, but with no real reason to purchase it, I always left the store with longing in my heart. Until… Eventually!

January 7, 2021

Hai Beautiful! It’s that time of year again! Starting off the year with a new Goodreads goal and a half-finished book from the year before is starting to become the norm for me now. But alas, I have anticipated this! But once again I have sabotaged my own well-thought-out plan, and have landed myself in another sticky situation. So you see… *cue flashback* I wanted to set a one-book TBR that would allow for any unpredictability in my schedule over […]
