You Know Me Well by Nina LaCour and David Levithan: A Dual Review with Danielle Hammelef

(No actual dueling—or even arm-twisting—was involved. Don’t worry, this is a dual review, not a duel review. Sorry if you’re disappointed.) Today I have another dual review of a book from my Make Me Read It Giveaway (as part of the Wrap-Up Round-Up).

February Wrap-Up & Best of the Bunch

My Goings On in February: I finished my (second) edit of my MG book! It feels good to have it done.

I celebrated my 5th blogoversary (technically on January 31st, […]
