This week’s That Artsy Reader Girl topic for TTT is one of my favorites. I wrote a post a million years ago about my auto-buy authors, and while I could go scroll pack in my posts to try to find it, I’m not because that would take forever, so let’s consider this a kind of […]

IT’S THAT TIME! We back with another anticipated book release. If you’re curious for whatever reason what I was looking forward to earlier this year, here you go.
