Bookfessional: Life Imitates Art I went to a roller derby match last weekend. It was my first, but it won’t be my last, especially if bff joins their ranks as she’s currently planning. And why did I go to my first roller derby match? B/c one of the main characters in an urban fantasy series […]
Bookfessional: Breaking the Funk If you couldn’t already tell based on my surplus of Bookfessionals over the last couple of weeks, I’m battling my annual mid-year(ish) book funk.
