Merry Christmas, Nicole! <3
Merry Christmas to you too!!
I love the cover of Unnatural Deeds. Can’t wait to see what you think of it! Hope you had a great Christmas. You can check out my Sunday Post in the link before!
I have to be honest—I didn’t even remember requesting Unnatural Deeds, but I found it in my Edelweiss queue and thought … Oh, I guess I asked for this book. How crazy is that? The cover does look intriguing though! I’ll have to make it a priority to read it!
Merry Christmas! I hope you all have a fabulous holiday!
Thank you! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas too!
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family! And I can’t wait for you review of Hunted, it looks so, so, so, so good! Have fun meeting Yeva and the Beast. 🙂
Thanks! I hope you had a fantastic Christmas as well!
