BLOOMSBURY GIRLS BY NATALIE JENNER
Overall, such a cute book, such a good idea for a book and for any book nerd I’m not sure what is not to love about the story. Sadly, as a book nerd, I ‘read’ this book via audiobook. The speaker was wonderful, her voice and accent really set the scene for me, yet, I still felt something…

PRETTY GIRLS BY KARIN SLAUGHTER

So time to go through Hannah’s back catalogue. What’s interesting is I saw this book, Angel Falls, on an end cap in Target and thought it was…
