My Weekly Wrap Up
Very curious to see what you thought of Falling Kingdoms and Darkest Minds since I really want to read both of those. Love and Other Perishable Items also looks cute. I still need to start the Mythos Academy series. Haven't read any of them yet. Enjoy!
I hope you had a great week! I'm really curious about Love and Other Perishables. I hope you have a great week!
I can't wait to hear what you think about Love and Other Perishable Items. Also… I need to get on Darkest Minds. I feel like it's right up my alley.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on THE DARKEST MINDS.
I voted yes to novellas! I actually really like them and think they can really enhance a series.
