Another Sunday, and another fun prompt from the Sunday Queen, Steph of A Little But A Lot fame. In classic Charlotte style, I have decided to make an already tricky prompt even trickier by only choosing books from Mount Ted my TBR. 1. The Day I Was Erased by Lisa Thompson. I am sure if...

I started reviewing my YALC samplers earlier this week, but there were too many for one post. So here are the rest. And I promise that after this, I will stop posting about YALC.

Rowling, because she's weird, fun, and guaranteed to find something utterly bonkers to make a holiday unique. 2. Circe from... Continue Reading →
One day I'll get back on track with my usual posting schedule. Today is not that day. Today I'm wrapping up my reading for the Series Crackdown Readathon hosted by the lovely @TheBookMoo.
