Book Review: Jade Legacy
Jade Legacy by Fonda Lee 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱/5 First up: new rating system!

Upcoming SFF, January-March 2022
It's hard to believe it's almost 2022. Anywho, here's a wish for you. May your TBR be plentiful. May your reads be five-stars. May the science fiction flourish and the fantasy contain dragons.
