Totally agree with Illuminae, The Hating Game and Simon. All were so good and lived up to the hype. I’m waiting to get Children of Blood and Bone from the library again but I was enjoying it.

I have Six of Crows staring at me from my TBR and now I desperately want to read it, even though I have 493201 other things to read. 😂

I know that feeling! I actually read Six of Crows a couple years after it came out and it was SO worth it! I hope you love it too.
