CBR Bingo: Series I usually take my time with my urban fantasy series. I like to savor them and read a few worlds at a time. To not let the reviews pile up (again), I usually read one or two books in a row. Not this go round. I've read five in a row for the OG Mercy Thompson series by Patricia … [Read more]

I decided to dabble and … [Read more]
