I am an Austen girl through and through. I love the originals, and I love reading new adaptations as every author puts a different and unique spin on the classic tales. This one is no different.

One topic relating characters that I’ve not done relates to the side characters, the main character’s besties or the villain’s right hand man. I love a good side character. Below are our lists […]
Happy Tuesday y’all! This week’s topic is “Characters I’d Like To Switch Places With.” I read a lot of sci-fi, dystopias SO there really isn’t anyone I’d be willing to switch places with. In fact, I’d pay to NOT switch places with them. I’m going to tweak the topic just a little 😉 Below are […]
