Princesses, Turtles and Birds | Watcha Reading Wednesday
Spindle Fire by Lexa Hillyer I have given this book for free for a honest review. I am currently making my way through the novel, but even though it is marketed as a YA it feels a lot as a Middle Grade. I don’t love but I don’t hate it so far. Stay tune for…

Until three weeks ago, he had no clients and no cash — no clients except for infamous toxic waste entrepreneur G.G. Guidry,…
