Weekly Reading List #15

By: Cynthia Ayala

Hey there avid readers—or who I hope are avid readers. I’m sure you have noticed that I have made some changes to my reading list.

I loved the first two books and I read the second one in a night, just could not put it down. I’m hoping this one does not disappoint.

Weekly Reading List #13

By: Cynthia Ayala

Hey there readers! I know that I missed last week but I was at the Florida Supercon so I didn’t get a whole lot of reading done. But this week, man, I read two whole books! Cinder and Survive the Night were so good. Especially Survive the Night. Danielle Vega really knows how to suck a reader in and with that novel, she simply captivated me.
