Read a book in French. They're piling up on me and I haven't read one in a while, plus I have some French tests coming up for work so hopefully this'll help me prepare!
Jayme(the ghost reader) wrote: "I have 10 books on my tbr list from that task."I have lots too. It is a cool list (even though some of these aren't really dystopian or post-apocalyptic in any way)! There are also some hidden gems further down the list (hint: Michael Marshall Smith).
