Notes From Melissa:
As I sit at my desk preparing this post, I'm looking out the window and seeing for the first time in what seems like forever: Sunny skies and what I know are warmer breezes...we're supposed to see 60 today. I am so thrilled that sweater and flip flop season is finally here...I hope it lasts!
In other good news...my work schedule has finally leveled out a bit..hopefully this will last and I'll have more time to devote to other aspects of my life including blogging:)
And one last piece of happy news:
Mine is one of the blogs to be mentioned in the upcoming paperback of SHADOW AND BONE by Leigh Bardugo which releases on May 7th and will include the following bonus material:
