The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires
Spring UpdateSo almost 12 weeks of the year are already over. I finished 8 books and am in the middle of 3 more. My highlight so far was Vita Nostra. In my impression, the main goal of the book was for the reader to explore and comprehend the very mysterious and complex world. I was very engaged. I was very engrossed in reading.
Also Tress of the Emerald Sea was a very charming and entertaining story.
