To quote Hamlet, Act III, Scene III, Line 87… “No.”
Happy #FantasyFriday! What is one of your favorite fantasy books/series?
Took me a while to read this one because I was in a sort-of depression, but I got through it and enjoyed it. Now that I’m feeling a little more like myself, I’m getting reviews back up on the blog and the review for As If On Cue is up now!
I’m already loving Last Chance Books, and I wish I didn’t have work today so I could just keep on reading! 🤓
Who’s one of your auto-read authors? So far, I’ve loved all of Jennifer E. Smith’s books (that I’ve read anyway) 🙃
