Courtney is a 20-something writer and bookseller working her way to authorhood. Books are her everything, and sometimes her characters like to come out and play.
She loves recommending good books to people (and what better way to do that than by running a review blog?) and LOVES receiving recommendations in return (but seriously, her to-read shelves are overflowing). So let's discuss favourites, countdown to release dates, and drool over cover reveals!
Happy reading! <3
