I can't write books so I review them instead
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. When I was little, I wanted to be a twin. I am not ashamed to admit that I went through a Mary Kate-and-Ashley phase. While I resigned myself to my fate of never having a twin, it hasn’t stopped…
My first classic was Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, and I adored it. I still do. I didn’t really enjoy too many of the other novels by Jane Austen, but this one has always stayed with me. I am always interested in reading modern retellings of novels I love so I was very excited to…

Yes, I took history classes in high school but they barely taught me anything. And I definitely did not have the time to take a course in university that would provide me with more in-depth knowledge.…
Before I read a book, I like to read reviews on Goodreads. It’s interesting to see other people’s opinions on the same book that I just read. When I read the reviews this time, I became confused with everyone talking about sequels and an omnibus and short stories. So far all of those reading this…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I had no idea that this novel was a part of a series, but it became fairly obvious after the first few pages. Nevertheless, I decided to read this novel and base my opinions on only this one story.…
