B/c . . . I don't know why. *shrugs* HOWEVER, you have put it back on my radar, b/c these books sound amazing, and how on earth could I justify getting MORE books by Stroud when I have yet to read the ones I already have? Can't do it. Not that that's ever made a difference before. *snickers* But I am trying to be better. Trying ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09695758147242555382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541582388948046827.post-49846551117916092015-02-03T12:00:27.012+01:002015-02-03T12:00:27.012+01:00Thanks Faye!

Jonathan Stroud's sounds more to my liking, but I'll probably skip the novella because I don't usually read 'em to begin with, and you gave The Dagger in the Desk 3.5 stars which is not enough to break my 'no shorts' rule.<br /><br />Carmel @ <a href="http://rabidreads.ca/2015/02/early-review-hunter-reborn-by-katie-reus.html" rel="nofollow">Rabid Reads</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15837765255919617324noreply@blogger.com
