Best of the Bunch #7 - December 2015
Best of the Bunch #6 - November 2015
Best of the Bunch is a monthly meme hosted over at A Cocoon of Books. What it is is that you give the Best of the Bunch award to one book which you have read in that month.
Because it's December and all festive feelings and good will and everything, I am going to display all the books I gave 5 stars to instead of picking the best of the bunch. Here we go:
- Empire of Night by Kelley Armstrong
- A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray
- Fairest by Marissa...
