ReplyDeleteEd is a delightful author, Kimber! I look forward to your review!
ReplyDeleteIt takes me awhile to get the linky link to load, but adding mine today although I am late for the past week's read. I will be joining you tomorrow for the coming week's weekly read. Your reads look very interesting. I don't think our library has ChristmaSin. I'll have to look again.
