Andrew65 I loved Buried Angels. 5mo

TheBookHippie ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ 5mo

kspenmoll @Andrew65 Up until Buried Angels I was listening to audiobooks in the series so it was different to read without the audio voices but I think@the next in the series is also only in book form. I am loving this series- don‘t want it to end! 5mo

kspenmoll @tpixie We started the Alchemist last week; we started Night today(Monday) both after exploring lots of background information. ( grade9,10) 5mo

kspenmoll @Librarybelle Thanks! 5mo

tpixie @kspenmoll great reading! I‘ve read his Night , Dawn, & Day. Very good. Heartbreak and resilience 5mo
