Ketchup Clouds by Annabel Pitcher

Ketchup Clouds by Annabel Pitcher

I tend to never write reviews right after I finish a book but I must in this case. My head might be hurting and I might just be ranting but I NEED TO SHARE MY THOUGHTS (isn’t that what blogging is all about?). Ketchup Clouds was supposed to be an interesting, unique and awesome novel. […]

The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight

The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight

Hi my honey’s! Today we’re going to do something a little different and start this review with a story. *cue flashback effects now* Once upon a time there was a girl who grew up without her father’s presence. She wasn’t bitter or damaged. She didn’t hold a grudge or stupidly believe that he would leave […]
