This book suffered from next book-itis. I started reading it but got distracted by wanting to read other books when I realized that two more bingo squares would give me a second bingo (Between the Bridge and the River and Eleanor and Park). I half-heartedly kept reading City of Brass while waiting to get to my main city library where I could pick up both books.

So many feels – CBR10Bingo: So Popular! *Bingo*

And my friend was completely correct about me not being into non-fiction. This is only my second non-fiction book this year out of my current 47 […]
