It’s Top Ten Tuesday again! It’s a weekly bookish list hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl! This week’s topic is: BEST CHARACTER NAMES I’ve decided, for best character names, I’m going to take that as beautiful and unique names that I would seriously consider naming a child or animal.

Hey everyone! Well, Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon is now over, so it’s time I share with you all how it went. After my last update, I read about 10 more pages of Illuminae, and then I fell asleep.
