Hey everyone!
I know it's been super-quiet here lately. I've been really busy with my
kittens and working working working! Now that I've worked a ton of overtime, you can count on lots of giveaways coming soon (though not necessarily a lot of reviews).
This one's not mine, but my good friend
Kristen Kittscher's -- author Kirsten Miller blurbed her upcoming book,
The Wig in the Window, and to say thank-you Kristen has offered to send someone the Kiki Strike series!
Good luck!
