CREATE MEMORIES BY ENGAGING POETRY!

And off we go, or I go! I just released Galatea Resurrects #19 but I’ve just now writ my first review for the next issue! That’s how compelling I found Memory Cards by Susan M. Schultz. Has to be compelling because as I’ve said before, I don’t assign myself books to review. I just try to read widely and then whatever inspires me to review end up being the books I will have reviewed.

And here’s the latest update of my Recently Relished W(h)ine List below. Also, please note that in the Publications section, if you see an asterisk before the title, that means a review copy is available for Galatea Resurrects! More info on that HERE.  Do check out this review copy list -- I update it frequently as I receive many lovelies...
