October 5, 2015 by · 2 Comments

September 24, 2015 by · Leave a Comment
Audiobook Review: I preordered this audiobook like a boss for two reasons: 1.) Christian Grey and 2.) Zachary Webber. I actually listened to a good majority of the book and switched to the ebook (which I received from my library) when I wasn't able to listen. Christian ...
