Destiny @ Howling Libraries

Destiny @ Howling Libraries
April 6, 2019Doesn’t it? I need more Christmas contemporaries in my life, plus the plot sounds so fun and cute 😀 I’m definitely gonna save this one for closer to the holidays!
Avery @ RedRocketPanda
April 7, 2019I still can’t believe you got an ARC of Gideon the ninth, I’m SO jealous
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
April 8, 2019Aw, I hope you get one soon, too! I’ve been hyping this book for almost 2 years so I probably would have cried for a long time if they’d turned me down. It’s rare that I get to find out about a book SO early in its creation and watch it become a thing. 🙂
