thanks Sonya!

I read 'Empire of Storms' by Sarah J Maas, book 5 in the Throne of Glass series. Did not do so well last week since I was home and visiting with family and friends! Hopefully I can do some major catch up this week, but we'll see since Throne of Glass book 7 is huge!

I finished reading “The Lost Girls of Paris” FINALLY! And started a new book called “A Discovery of Witches” that was recommended to me by a coworker.

I had read Opposite of Always by Justin A Reynolds on Sunday, 6/23, so I had mentioned it in the last post for Week 25.

I also read Rumple Buttercup by Matthew Gruber which was recommended by a coworker. It's a children's book that talks about a lonely creature, it's actually a bit sad but gets the point across about loneliness and acceptance.
