Chapter 30~

December 4, 2024December 10, 2024 N. K. Valek

I get to be 30 again or 30 for real! Man, it seems like a lot more when I write it down. Do I act 30? No. I act like a 2 year old cat. *Meow hiss purr.*

Inkheart by Cornelia Funke

4/5 It was a great start, but got weaker and a little muddled near the end. Still good enough for me to be curious about the next book!
