June 2017 TBR Pile
Moroda* by L L McNeil I was sent this stunning debut novel by the author, Lauren McNeil. I’m so excited to read a good fantasy book as recently I’ve been reading so much contemporary.

Uptown Oracle Reads… City of Bones
The Mortal Instruments Series has been popular for quite a while. Especially when I was around 12 or 13 years old. I just never read them. Probably because no one gave me the books as a gift. The reason I am now reading them is because I watched the TV show on Netflix. Yes, it is…
