New Favorite Book

Also, a contest! Not mine. I don't have the money for that. But this guy is giving away crap, and it's really awesome crap, so you shouldn't enter so I can maybe win.

So you're probably thinking, "Wow. Izzy has a new favorite book. I worship Izzy and the ground she walks on, so clearly this is a super amazing book and I will put it at the top of my TBR list. Maybe if I read the book, I can inherit some of Izzy's awesomeness. But only some. Of course."

And it's sooooo good, oh my God, it's so good. Do you believe that ending?

Mom: That's nice, sweetie.


Now. Go read it. Seriously. NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW.
