Review & Giveaway: Stung by Bethany Wiggins

Goodreads Gets Bought by Amazon! – Why This is Awesome News

The Perfect Cover (15) – The Chaos of Stars
This cover completely blows my mind! I am a huge sucker for swirly designs, and the intricate designs and swirls on this cover totally win me over. I love how the typography is so integrated into the designs, and of course, anything with outer space/stars/space […]
