Friday Fill-Ins: The Unexpected Gems
We all waited breathlessly for Timepiece by Myra McEntire and other big titles like Insurgent, but sometimes a title comes quietly sneaking up and just blows you away. Today I share with you one of my unexpected gems, Guitar Notes by Mary Amato. And the unexpected gem is also the subject of this week’s Friday Fill-Ins. You know how it goes, fill in the blanks in the comments.

I read Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen and loved it.
And I was also pleasantly surprised by What Can't Wait by Ashley Hope Perez.
I read the ARC of BUTTER by ERIN JADE LANGE and it turned out to be such an unexpected gem. Read it! (When it comes out)
