      Hi Foz/Philippa,

      Congrats on being featured on Freshly Pressed! I have a question for you:
      > How do you find the time to read all of these books? (Are you a natural speed reader? Are you a book reviewer to pay the bills?)

      Thanks for listing Tamora Pierce books. I remember reading them as a teenager. I must re read them as an adult! 🙂

      Keep edutaining us,
      Sarah

        Hi Sarah,

        Thanks! I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’m a speed reader, but I definitely read quickly. Some of these books I read to review (and some of those reviews are even paid!), but the vast majority I read for pleasure. 🙂

  2. Just out of curiosity, did you read the prequel to All the Windwracked Stars? I didn’t see it here, though I might have missed it. So good, and so soul crushing. But, you know, in a good way.
