5 out of 5 stars. Hold. Onto. YOUR HATS. Marie Lu’s Legebd is going to sweep you away. From page 1, this book is a page-turning thrill ride. What was once the western United States is now home to the Republic, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in […]

My source for deal news is Publishers Marketplace, which requires a paid subscription. As such I’m only sharing part […]

…give it away if I WAAAANT to! You’d give one away too if it happened TO YOU! Okay. Phew. Enough with the goofy “It’s My Party” rendition because this is no goofy situation, my friends. Not. At. All.
