Good morning all! Now that we celebrated our 3rd Blogversary, now that Smugglivus is over, it’s time to get back on track (did you think we were going to take a break? HA! Smugglivus was our break!) with our regular schedule.
But first, a few bits and bobs.

I don’t want to see bitter but I never win anything 🙁
Anyway, The Lost Gate looks pretty good. I love the cover! Yup, I’m superficial that way 😛 Looking forward to the reviews!
