Why I’m not doing the 2016 Goodreads Reading Challenge
Yeah, you read that right. I know – it’s a total shocker. Some might call it a tragedy.

Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who onlyContinue reading “Review: ‘The 5th Wave’ by Rick Yancey”
