I had this book on my shelf for an embarrassingly long time before I finally set to reading it.

The Raven Boys Maggie Stiefvater Scholastic Inc I finally gave in to the social media pressure and ordered The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater. I have never before read anything of hers, and it was starting to feel like I was truly lacking in that department. I am more an epic fantasy fan than a real … Continue reading The Raven Boys | Maggie Stiefvater

A Darker Shade of Magic V.E. Schwab Titan Books 9781783295401 I discovered this book through the "others also liked"-feature. I'm usually a bit weary of them, because I am of the old school persuasion that believes computer generated tag links don't hold a candle to a book buyer's intuition.
