I will have to read this book after my current reads. I need to find out how come so many people agree on this. Even the average rating is mind-blowing."
Me too! One of my favorite authors, and it seems like everyone has read it but me. 😂 I can't wait for the next book in his Tales From Verania.

Lol same, I need May to wait just a little bit. 😂

Here are my recs:
