I would have to say I wish either my review of The Other Side of Lost or the Beauty and the Beast Book Tag . I feel like these are two of my favorite posts and I want them to have been really seen. How did you come up with your blog name? Well I originally started with a blog called Gabriella Reads, but I wanted my email to

The Fall of Grace by Amy Fellner Dominy 4.5 Stars I want to preface this by thanking Amy for giving this to me personally at the Tucson Festival of Books after I told her how much I've been dying to read it.
