December Wrap Up
I cannot believe how fast the reading year went. While there are so many books I did manage to read, my TBR is still sitting tall and judging me. Will there ever be a time in my life when my TBR pile is manageable? I had a pretty easy reading month because I decided I […]
Augustown by Kei Miller
For here is the truth; each day contains much more than its own hours, or minutes, or seconds. In fact, it would be no exaggeration to say that every day contains all of history. Augustown is the first book I have read by Kei Miller and I am in awe of this man’s writing. Released […]
