Review: The Lore of Prometheus by Graham Austin-King
First book of the new year!!! After just a moment of looking at the beautiful cover for this novel, I knew I wanted to read it. I mean, I don't judge a book by its cover necessarily, but a book with a pretty cover is 100% more likely to make me interested in reading a... Continue Reading →
