Books & Looks: The Raven King

Books & Looks: The Raven King Books & Looks is a new feature I’m trying out on my blog. I have been inspired by various bloggers / bookstagrammers who feature various posts like Outfit of the Day (OOTD) paired with their latest read. I am not quite brave enough to show photos of myself in outfits (and they would be pretty boring – I have a fairy limited wardrobe despite […]

I have seen many favourable reviews and I had an inkling I would enjoy it, but for some reason I kept putting off reading it. The Winner’s Curse is […]
