Red Queen

My Thoughts: This book has been on my TBR since I got a copy in my first Uppercase Box. However, life happened and I never got around to it. This year a group of student read it and fell head over heels. These kids are obsessed! I can totally see why. Red Queen has that vibe… Read more »
