Mandi: When I read Tori’s weekly wrap-up last week, I noticed she was going to start the Dark Soul series by Aleksandr Voinov. I’ve been wanting to try something by him (although I think I read a previous novella by him) so I decided to grab book one and see what it was all about. Whoa.

The series consists of five novellas, each 50-75 pages Continue Reading

I’m living vicariously, as even my stick figures are indecipherable. I also grew up a small town girl, however, so you often get a blend of city and small Continue Reading
