Evermore Book Tag
Hello! If you haven’t heard, Taylor Swift came out with a new album called Evermore recently and it is amazing! (Dare I say better than Folklore?) So, when I saw Star is All Booked create an Evermore Book Tag, I knew I had to do it. Make sure you check out the original here! Willow: A character you would follow anywhere Holden Caufield from The Catcher in the Rye. I absolutely loved his character and the journey he takes in the novel, and honestly, I’d just want to protect him, he deserves to have a good friendship with someone he can trust.
