Gemma and Violet proudly return Snowball to her grateful owner, and Gemma basks in praise for a job well done.

Every now and then, Amazon releases a series of short e-books with companion audiobooks that are available for free through Kindle Unlimited. I’m not sure if they’re part of the Prime Reading program or not, but they’re inexpensive and always good reads. Continue reading “Mini Review: The Wickeds by Gayle Foreman”
