Q: Christmas in July! Someone gives you a gift card for two books (whatever that costs). What two books will you buy?
I think I would get The Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman because I hear such great things about this book and REALLY want to read it.
Second, I would getThe Sleepwalkers by Paul Grossman because one of my groups on Goodreads, Ancient and Historical Fiction, is going to read it for August and it sounds AWESOME! So excited to get started!
Has anyone else read either of these? Happy Friday! ;D
