Lose Yourself in the World of Books
Uprooted came to me highly recommended by a former coworker - she and I have very similar tastes (we call each other book-twins), so I figured it would be a sure thing.

I'd been meaning to read my… Continue reading Everland by Wendy Spinale

Add into it my love… Continue reading Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
