I didn't do a bookish update last week so I'm going to try to quickly catch up on what I've been reading. And I mean quick: it's 4:45 and Colton is already awake so my time is very short! Books Finished in the Last Two Weeks: Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow seemed like an epic... Continue Reading →
