A Touch of Gold is definitely one of my favorite books of the year so far. I absolutely loved it! It is a retelling of the King Midas story, which I didn’t know... Continue Reading →
By: Cait Marie Sea Witch is a retelling of The Little Mermaid, told in a very new way from a different point of view than the mermaid. If you know me, you know that I was obsessed with the Disney movie growing up, and to this day it remains my favorite. This story is about... Continue Reading →
