Untold ARC Entry
Y'all know how much I love Sarah Rees Brennan's Unspoken, so I doubt that anyone's surprised that I'm trying to win an ARC of Untold. The lovely kiyala and I went into Sydney two weekends ago, me with my beautiful Unspoken hardcover, she with her ridiculously complicated looking camera, and these photos are the result.

A Mid-Year Resolution

First lines
Stolen from everybody. You know how it goes.

Anyone wanna meet me in London?
