Lore of the Books is a blog focused on bookish things — although sometimes lifestyle & other interests also creep in. I review lots of books, talk about my bookish interests (which there are many) and post pretty photos.

unced as a crossover between Project Runway and Mulan I was a bit skeptical. Mostly because I had a bit of a hard time combining those two thoughts.

I’m going to join in on this, created by That Artsy Reader Girl. This weeks is Books On My TBR I’m Avoiding Reading and Why.
