I have read multiple books in the self-help/self-improvement genre and the premise of this book, to combine what we know of neuropsychology and the wisdom of the Ancients was very intriguing to me.

Book Review: Crank by Ellen Hopkins

Maas high, I decided to dive into A Court of Thorns and Roses.In the Throne of Glass series, I absolutely loved Celaena/Aelin’s character, her swagger that covered a deep vulnerability made her so relatable.
