SIGH. But on the other hand, books gaLORE, PEOPLE. I've never been gifted/bought this many books all in such a small period of time in my life.

Book Boyfriend: Will Herondale

Will Herondale The Infernal Devices trilogy by Cassandra Clare Described as tall and muscular, with elegant facial features, Will Herondale is MY LITTLE CINNAMON ROLL.
