MONTHLY RECAP • Tis the Season (December 2016)

Tis the season!

There’s nothing noteworthy about my December other than I’m exhausted from working and I’m utterly devastated by the many deaths this past month (Carrie Fisher + Debbie Reynolds + George Michaels <3)

Just a lot of work, work, work. 

I’ve been busy working, so I’ve not had time to really read or blog.

We have winners for the 2016 YA Book Cover Choice Awards! 

For those who do not know what the YA Cover Choice Awards is, it’s an annual awards that I created because I wanted to show appreciation for the book covers that had been published. It’s my baby, and it’s the third year!

The YA Cover Choice Awards have its winners! There are surprises and many expected wins. You should check out which book covers won each category!
