Unloved – Review

My Beat the Backlist Challenge is making my reading year so sweet! I decided to snag Unloved with a gift card I won from The Book Bee last week. It has been on my Goodreads “Want to Read” shelf for years and I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about the story. Luckily, this was exactly…

Doctor Dearest – Release Day & Review
