A Million Junes. Don’t miss this beautiful, magical read.

May 22, 2017May 22, 2017 / beckmank / 3 Comments

5/5 Stairs It's a love story. It's a father-daughter story. It's a story about magic. It's a story about learning who you really are, and not what everyone expects you to be. And it's beautiful.

Graceful – Not a good standalone read.

2/5 Stairs Not a good standalone book option. I didn't realize this was the end of a series when we selected it.

5/5 Stairs. Ms. Rowell has created her own unique universe, full of wizards and vampires, dragons and numpties, with spells based on common phrases, and mysteries waiting to be solved. Every page is magic.
