The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater
Thoughts Thank heavens the second book was as good as the first. I would have been mighty disappointed were it not. What a lovely scene between Blue and Noah.

I’m 100% convinced that everything Andrew Kaufman writes is pure gold. Absolutely genius. I don’t know how he’s able to say so much about love in such a short book, but he is incredibly successful in doing so. No. 14 on my challenge. Thank goodness—it would have been terrible for Nancy if she’d had to […]
