In war, the Devil serves you wine. Read Review Below Rating: ★★★ So, funny thing. A week after I read this book, I was folding my laundry in the bedroom. I was facing my bedroom door when I heard a distinct female voice behind me whisper, “Nooooooooo”. I jumped in a panic calling out

Per usual, my book selection was all over the place last year. I did manage to reach my goal of 30 books (specifically, 9,964 pages)- yay, me!
