Book Lust #16 – I’ll Give You The Sun


Mostly I want to read this because of the buttery yellow cover and also because Liberty has told me that it's really good.

Carole’s Book Alphabet ~ ‘R’ is for…


'The Graceling Realm' Yes, I know, that's a really tenuous link to the letter 'R' but I had to get this series in somewhere! The Graceling Realm is a trilogy by Kristin Cashore consisting of the books Graceling, Fire and Bitterblue.
