Sometimes stand-alones … Continue reading My Favorite Stand-Alone Books (YA Edition) | What to Read Wednesdays
This week's theme is an interesting one. I had a fun time scouring through my bookshelf for this one. I will say that I barely made it to 10 because I ruled out a lot of book titles because most are statements, rather than being what I would consider an actual sentence.

I went a little-off course on my reading this month, but only because I've picked up several very long books to read (400+ pages).
