Review: The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons Format (That I Read It): Book Summary: The golden skies, the translucent twilight, the white nights, all hold the promise of youth, of love, of eternal renewal.

Review: The Walking Dead Vol. 04: The Heart's Desire (The Walking Dead #19-24) by Robert Kirkman, Charlie Adlard (Illustrator), Cliff Rathburn (Illustrator) Format (That I Read It): Comics Summary: Life in the prison starts to get interesting for Rick Grimes and the rest of our survivors.

Reader Problems Tag ( Source ) 1. You have 20,000 books on your TBR. How in the world do you decide what to read next? I choose what I read next based off two things: priority and feelings.
