Come and escape from the world in some great books!
The Top 5 series is back! Top Five Saturday is a meme hosted by Devouring Books in which the bookish community discover and share books that all have a common theme.

It sounds terribly formal and... binding. But if these… Continue reading Weekly Round Up: 2nd July 2018
