Book Review: Jade Legacy by Fonda Lee

Wow. The thrilling conclusion to the miraculous Green Bone Saga left me breathless till the very end, not wanting it to end and to find myself torn asunder from this incredible universe.

Bloganuary Day 7: What makes you laugh?

Bloganuary Day 7 prompt: What makes you laugh? What makes me laugh the most is goofy and stupid humor. I am fond of quirky irreverence and people who are the opposite of uptight.

Bloganuary Day 6: Who is someone that inspires you and why?
