@emilyherringdunn I’m so ready to read these books. My little sister got me these for my birthday. She keeps me well-stocked in books that I tend to read very, very quickly because I can’t put them down 😂. I’ve been saving these for summer and I am just about ready to start them. What sort of books do you tend to read quickly? #bookstagram #mondaymorning #grishaverse #grisha #nikolai #kingofscars #ruleofwolves #currentlyreading #bookstagrammer #instabooks #ya #instabookstagram #amreading #mondaymotivation #summerreading #summerreads #youredoinggreat #authorlife #momlife #writerslife
