Alright, alright, I know I’m late again! This time, it really was NOT my fault, I tried to get this done last night and my oldest cat, Mushi, was not having it. She was smacking at my iPad’s screen, which kept reacting to her little kitty paws – and every time I tried to type anything, she’d start smacking my hands! I don’t know what she had against me finishing it this, but she was on one!
This month there’s seventeen titles I’m stoked to be released, two of which I’ve already read and reviewed š There’s quite a few novel in verse titles as well as some silly ones (three novels deal with aliens in someway form or another).
Are you excited for any of these titles??
