Through the Door – Jodi McIsaac
Usually as I read I make notes, either on the Word doc I write my reviews on or on actual paper with an actual pen. But on going through my list of books read this year, trying to see just … Continue reading
Yseult – Ruth Nestvold
For some reason it took me a long time to get into this LibraryThing Member Giveaway. Once in, I didn’t want to leave, for about half of it. The second half was another story – I didn’t much want … Continue reading
