I'm trying to find myself and get out of this downward spiral. (Taken from my Instagram, @ thriftyteacup)

I don't normally read books twice, but I was happy to read this one again! It was a pretty quick read with a nice story. A little unclear at times, but good for the imagination. I would've loved if the relationships had progressed more throughout the story to the end, but it's a perfect balance of romance, fantasy, and family tension of the late 1800s.

My FAVORITE book series EVER. I still prefer "preteen" novels even though I'm nearly 20. The magic that I feel when reading these books is unreal.

I love this book! I read it a while ago and I happened upon it at a book fair recently. I've thought about it a few times the past few years, since I first read it. I'm happy to be reading it again!
