Come be my book bestie

Starting Ward D!

Just finished listening to A Thousand Boy Kisses. This book was honestly overhyped in my opinion, I could see why some people enjoyed it, but it was just a cliche.

I also finished reading The Party by Natasha Preston last night and while I normally love this author I did not enjoy this book. There were a few MAJOR plot holes and very very predicable.

What’s everyone’s favorite genre?
