ReplyDeleteI feel like you kind of adore Four there... XD So awesome. And I do love the cover of Code Name Verity (and also These Broken Stars...that's such a scrumptious cover). The copy I borrowed of Code Name Verity did NOT have that awesome cover. Such a disappointment. ;)
Thanks for linking up with us! (I adored reading this!)
yes, though i really wish not dying- but I am afraid it is so. ;)
