First things first, this book inspired my previous post ‘The Story Can Always Change Midway’, so I think it’s safe to say the journey to the last page was not quite smooth-sailing. I try my best not to judge books by their cover, but it’s…
Let me just say that when I listed ‘read more’ as part of my goals and intentions for the year I did not know what fun I was in for right off the bat. All I knew then was I wasn’t reading as much as…
