    Hello bookworms!! Welcome to Top 5 Tuesday!! This week’s topic is top 5 rainy day reads. The summer sun was not meant for boys like me. Boys like me belonged to the rain.

    Top 5 sequels I would sell my soul for

    Hello bookworms!! Welcome to Top 5 Tuesday!! This week’s topic is top 5 sequels I would sell my soul for. I mean, I don’t actually want to sell my soul. Soul-selling is completely optional.

    10 amazing fantasy classics you should read (one day)

    Good morning bookworms! Just in case you haven’t heard me scream about this previously, YA wasn’t really a thing when I was growing up.
