My favorite read is either Red Rising by Pierce Brown or An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir. I was kinda late reading both of these since they came out before this year. MY favorite release of 2016 is probably Flamecaster by Cinda Williams Chima.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11205709973717833264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128730358349082407.post-33711821037098897672016-07-11T21:54:28.519-05:002016-07-11T21:54:28.519-05:00Oh this book sounds so good!

It almost reminds me of Letters from Skye in the sense of the two timelines, although that was more of a WWi/ WWII thing and not Jazz age so much, and it wasn't all set in Paris either, but some similarities. Similar themes anyway. This looks like a nice read, and PAris is such a great setting!
