It’s Tuesday again and this week’s TTT is going to seem a little repetitive since I have recently shared what I’ve read last month here.

1. Grimalkin (The Iron King by Julie Kagawa)

Actually one of my favourite characters in the series because he reminds me so much of what I imagine Cheshire Cat from Wonderland would be like, Grimalkin is a cat-like creature who pops in when he feels the need and disappears when danger arises.
