Hiya My Little Predators!
Here we are yet again: End Of The Year Book Survey! I did a much better job this year keeping up with all my DNF's and book reviewing in general. I'm so excited to have this year come to a close. Let's just say I'm hoping there are better things to come in 2017.
Adding onto that:
Happy New Year!
We survived.
Hope you guys enjoy!!

6. A 2017 Release You’ve Already Read & Recommend To Everyone:
I haven't been requesting ARC's all that much in the last few months because I've been getting very picky. I don't want to end up hating a book just because I'm obligating myself to read and review it. So I don't have an ARC's to recommend, but I would recommend: Chaos Unleashed (Chaos Rises #2) By Pippa DaCosta! I know it hasn't released as of this post going live, but everything that woman writes is incredible and I recommend it to everyone.
