Reading The Archived for the first time

Before July 2020, I’d never read The Archived before. (I know.) It’s Victoria Schwab’s second novel and one of the last few I need to read before I’ve read all of her publised works. So, when Alison and I planned Schwab Readalong, we decided to make it the first book we read. The main reason… Continue reading Reading The Archived for the first time
