Thoughts: Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined, by Stephenie Meyer

Posted on 6 April 2017 by Dove

Thoughts: His Bloody Project, by Graeme Macrae Burnet

Posted on 11 March 2017 by Dove

I just finished reading this this morning, and my thoughts are many and jumbled, but as I’ve written most of my recent bookthoughts after delays, so I want to get all this down now while it’s still fresh. Warning: if … Continue reading →

Posted on 10 March 2017 by Dove
