I finished an upcoming fabulous mystery/modern tragedy called Twin Daggers by MarcyKate Connolly. I love Blink YA Books titles, and this one does not disappoint.

IMWAYR: Last Week’s Lines and a New ARC
Reading just gets better and better! This year I’m working on staying on pace, and I’m failing miserably already.
