Summary My whole world changed when I stepped inside the academy. Nothing is right about this place or the other students in it. Here I am, a mere mortal among gods…or monsters.

This Week in Reading: Slow Going Once Again
Well, this past week I just wasn't that much in the mood for reading it seems. I did finish one book--the new historical romance from Courtney Milan!--and made some small progress on others.
