Response: Your thoughts
/ideas / impressions / concerns / questions re your reading
I found this series of books ver
interesting and I would definitely recommend them they open up your mind to all
of the possibilities and maybe life won’t always be the monotonous lumber that
it is usually. I also really enjoyed this book because it is in one of my
favourite genres and with many different plots all running simultaneously.
