Thirty Day Book Challenge: Day 22
Day 22: A book that makes you cry I have never cried like I cried reading Firefly Lane (ironic that I used this as the book that makes me happy too…).

Coral & Bone by Tiffany Daune

Chose The Wrong Guy, Gave Him The Wrong Finger by Beth Harbison
Oh, boy. I hate giving bad reviews, but this is going to have to be one of them. I picked this up at Target because it was 20% off and I thought the name was clever. I skimmed the back cover and it seemed like a typical chick lit story, so I picked it up.Continue reading “Chose The Wrong Guy, Gave Him The Wrong Finger by Beth Harbison”
