Book Review

Books on Sale: Burning Lamp by Amanda Quick & More

Burning Lamp by Amanda Quick is $1.99! This is the eighth book in The Arcane Society series and book two in the spin-off Dreamlight Trilogy, which makes me unsure if this can be read as a standalone.

Books on Sale: Monsters of Men by Patrick Ness & More

RECOMMENDED: Monsters of Men by Patrick Ness is $1.99! Ness is an amazing author and my roommate swears by his books. This is the third and final book in the Chaos Walking trilogy and it’s definitely a series you have to read in order. But in case you’ve been waiting for this one, now’s your chance to grab it. As with any end to a series, some people loved the conclusion and some didn’t. However, it has a 4.2-star rating on Goodreads, which is pretty impressive.
