TTT – Forgotten Backlist Books

Happy Tuesday book friends! Look at me posting two TTTs in a row. That hasn’t happened in years! Seems like taking time to draft posts in the weekend is paying off. Anyway, Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can find all past and future prompts on her blog! This week the prompt is: forgotten backlist titles!

Garden of the Cursed – Spoiler Free Review

Hello book friends! Hope you’ve all been doing well. I’ve been busy yet again, but I’ve also been making time to read of course. I haven’t read a big number of recent releases lately, but one that did make its way on my TBR was Garden of the Cursed.
