Every Heart a Doorway – Seanan McGuire
4 stars "Children have always disappeared under the right conditions-slipping through the shadows under a bed or at the back of the wardrobe, tumbling down rabbit holes and into old wells and emerging somewhere...else. But magical lands have little need for used-up magical children" Every Heart a Doorway tells the story of those children … Continue reading Every Heart a Doorway – Seanan McGuire
Thirteen Reasons Why – Jay Asher
3 stars SPOILERS (kind of) I recently bought this book on a whim, simply because it was cheap, thinking it was one of those books that I'd buy but probably never get around to reading.
