I had the pleasure of seeing Rebecca Rasmussen, author of Evergreen and The Bird Sisters, at a local book store event last Wednesday. In addition to being an amazing author, she’s a wonderful person. If Rebecca comes to your area, go see her! Check out her tour schedule.
Happy reading!
Awesome books!

Ha! I saw all the covers and immediately had the reflex to check back on the date of your post! It definitely feels christmassy here – but on some very hot days of summer, it feels good to think of the winter days. Enjoy your new books!
