Mehso-so

I had high hopes for this book. I really wanted to like it. While I liked the MCs, the philosophy became confusing and muddled a perfectly engaging plot. It was hard to follow at times. Maybe it wasn't the right book at the right time for me. #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks At least it's off the list!! 2y

My November #bookspin and #doublespin. Last Days has been on my TBR for a bit. The tagged book has spent less time on the TBR but may win out to read first. I managed to hold off 24 hrs after finishing my last book for #bookspinbingo to hit. @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!!! 2y
