The Arc of a Scythe Trilogy by Neal Shusterman
I know, I know. This book came out in November of 2019. What took me so long?!? It wasn't self-control (because we all know I don't have any when it comes to books). I just didn't know how it would end and I was stressed about the whole thing. If you haven't read The Arc of a... Continue Reading →
