Two friends share their love of popular literature through a series of two person perspective reading vlogs! After we discuss the plot chapter by chapter we will have a discussion together about our thoughts on the book as a whole. Right now we are obsessed with the Romantacy, Fantasy, and New Adult genres and are reading a lot about men with wings. We're starting a digital book club and would love for you to join!
