January 2020 Reading Roundup

New Review: My Life as a Goddess

I will be going back through the … Continue reading New Review: My Life as a Goddess

As an Alaskan, I also have a real fear of reading books that take place in Alaska because of what might be mis-portrayed or annoying in them. The Great … Continue reading New Review: The Great Alone
