So, I was really excited to read this one. I mean, it’s a fantasy, with a girl who’s been pretending to be a boy this whole time. Not to mention, she’s supposedly an awesome fighter, on the prince’s guard and basically sounds all sorts of awesome.

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish!

(and yeah, now I have Thrift Shop running through my head). I […]

There are few things that get me as riled up and passionate than football (books is the other). I will yell at my TV when the team I’m cheering for throws an interception or when the refs miss a […]
