Do you ever just read a book and it blows you away?

Transports you on a journey that you never want to come back from?

Okay, maybe that’s a dumb question, since you here, reading this post. You’re probably a book lover, a story enthusiast and you love falling head over heels into a book. Am I right?

So, I bought the book, and when I say it’s even prettier in person that on the computer, I’m not even lying. It’s stunning and it’s one of my favorite covers of all time.
