Anything to boast or even just chat about?
Paein:
There is now a “I will not be giving feedback on this book” button on Netgalley. This makes me so happy! Why? Well, I could never let a book just sit, I always felt like I had to let them know I wasn’t reviewing it, but it wasn’t the easiest to do.
Ms4Tune:
My Enamel Mugs from TemporaryPlaces finally arrived and they are gorgeous!!!
