Tag Time – Quarter Year Crisis Book Tag

Hello book friends! Do guys know how long it’s been since I did a book tag?? Literally so long. In fact, my last book tag was the end of year book tag… posted in 2021. Whoops.

Happy Monday all! I hope this week will bring you many exciting things and that one of those things is this review.👀 Last year I read This Woven Kingdom and instantly became obsessed with the characters.

I actually thought this was gonna be a duology but it isn’t, and guess what?? Zero info available on book three! I’m gonna cry. Anyway, if you haven’t read This…
