I read an eARC by The Shadow Cabinet by Juno Dawson. Thank you NetGalley and PENGUIN GROUNG Penguin Books.

I read an earc of Venom and Vow by Anna-Marie McLemore. Thank you Netgalley and Macmillan Children's Publishing.

I read an eARC of Godly Heathens by H. E. Edgmon. Thank you by NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press. And I have no idea what to think of what I just read. Partly that’s the ending.
