I think you will be happy with this correction. Please correct to the first edition Kindle page count (386) and repost. Thanks.
The discrepancy is weird, but the 386 page edition was published on April 2, 2013 and the 93 page edition on April 28, 2013. 🤷🏻♀️

It was quite good! The author managed to keep the feeling of “magic” throughout the book. Luka did feel very young during the first half of the book, but the second half was perfect. There were times when I wished I could see Jack’s POV but his emotions were also clearly portrayed. Slightly insta-lovey

Likely a typo, but please correct to the first edition Kindle page count (322) and repost. Thanks!
Other than that, all your books checked out.If I needed a screen shot, in a PM I would provide an email address. I honestly wouldn't be able to figure out how to do it on GR either! 😂

Ooh I figured this out when I hosted a challenge in the past. Basically, you'd have to upload it to an image hosting website (there are many that do it for free, like https://imgbb.com/) and then embed the link as you would for any other image.

Yay! Was it scarier than the others? The highlights were so cute!
I’m reading Any Old Diamonds by K.J. Charles. It’s so weird but I feel like all her books have an air of melancholy about them! Even the sex scenes depress me. Is it just me or is it really her writing style?

❤️ How book qualified: avg rating 4.2
❤️ Dated Completed with Rating: 2/3 DNF - it was extremely disrespectful and so unlike Klune’s typical writing. The MCs were unlikable, i hated how Bear kept saying “I’m not that” every time the topic of his sexuality came up and I hate that the loser Creed said “his brother can go be fag” as a joke. It’s extremely not funny
