    I finally finished reading this book. It was a good book, I didn’t see the end coming and I like it when I can’t guess the ending. You don’t find out what happens till the last 2-3 chapters of the book and you’re left guessing the whole entire time prior to that. But the book…

  • “The House on Foster Hill” by Jaime Jo Wright

    I wanted to share with you what I just finished reading on my Kindle Fire. This book was told through the perspective of 2 different character in 2 completely different periods in time.
