I had the support of my family and close friends, and they encouraged me to...

Book Review: Linger

Linger (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, book 2) by Maggie Stiefvater.

Teaser Tuesdays: City of Ashes

"He'd felt like a jack-o'-lantern for the past few days, as if his guts had been yanked out with a fork and dumped in a heap while a grinning smile stayed plastered on his face.  He often wondered if anything he'd believed about his life, or himself, had ever been true."

 p.g 18, City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare.

City of Ashes is the second book in The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare.  When I read these lines I knew immediately that I wanted this for my TT.  The imagery is vivid ...
