June Book Haul

I was trying not to buy that many books this month but I did end up buying 12 books. Oops. What’s a girl to do when there are so many great books out there that I just feel like I should own them all. Although I really have no where to put them all.

I will link the title to goodreads if you wish to know more about the book and also link for purchase if you want to know the price or wish to purchase.

This is my first book that I have read by Rainbow Rowell and I think she is a great author and will definitely pick up her other books. She really pulls at your heart strings in this book. A story about first love and how you never really forget it but it is also so much more than that. Continue reading “eleanor & park Book Review” →
