Wuthering Heights
Emily Brontë
Penguin English Library
360 pages
2/5
“Heathcliff, it’s me, Cathy
Come home, I’m so cold
Let me in-a-your window

Come home, I’m so cold
Let me in-a-your window”

Shorefall
Robert Jackson Bennett
Founders #2
Jo Fletcher Books
512 pages
4/5

4/5
The end of The City of Brass made me very excited to read The Kingdom of Copper so thank god it came in at the library before the country went into lockdown and I could actually read it.

Hello and welcome to a slightly delayed March wrap-up. I took a bit of a break from blogging (and reading) because everything in the world is just so shit at the moment that I couldn’t concentrate.
Anyway, onto the wrap-up.
