A Wrinkle in Time landed on my “to read” list because I thought the theatrical trailer of the movie adaption looked good. It appeared as if it would be a movie worth watching, but I wanted to read the book beforehand. A Wrinkle in Time was written by Madeleine L’Engle
I’ve owned this book for a few years now and I just finally got around to reading it. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is actually a collection of 3 short novellas that revolve around a duo of characters that exists in the Game of Thrones universe. In fact, these
