Throwback Thursday – A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas

throwbackthursday

Renee began Throwback Thursday at Its Book Talk as a way to share some of her old favorites as well as sharing books that she wants to read that were published over a year ago. Books that were published over a year ago are almost always easier to find at libraries or at a discounted sale price.

I may, or may not be, ashamed to admit it but this is the first book I have finished in over a month. Yikes.
