Coming Up

Mark your calendars! This Thursday, the 6th of February, there’s an event over at Kayla The Bibliophile‘s Facebook page.

I’ll get to pick a winner, which is — for me — sort of secondary to drooling over pictures of hot men all day. Woo hoo! Winner(s) can select the back-list title of their choice.
