Finally starting The Book That Held Her Heart by @marklawrenceauthor.bsky.social #amreading #currentlyreading #booksky Also, reminder that Canadian Independent Bookstore Day is this Saturday, so visit your indies! #CIBD2025
A copy of The Book That Held Her Heart by Mark Lawrence. The cover features a raven in the foreground and staircases winding among bookshelves. A bookmark for Canadian Independent Bookstore Day on April 26, 2025 marks my place.
