So, today’s Holiday Cheer post is coming a bit later than I meant it to… and it’s also a different topic than it was originally going to be… which is largely due to an exploding candy thermometer… long story.

Hasn’t snowed a single flurry, but Santa, dear, we’re in a hurry
I’m the sort of person who gets a little intense over the holidays. Almost every holiday, actually.

YA Pride: Indie edition!
June is Pride month, and to celebrate, there have been a lot of reading lists floating around the internet. But I noticed that most of the recommended books (especially for YA) have been limited to traditionally published (and especially Big 5) books. But there are a lot of fantastic self-published/indie/small press books out there as well that readers looking to show their Pride this month would be sure to love! So…
