It's October 2nd and it's the official release day of STARRY RIVER OF THE SKY!!! I'm throwing an online bookparty all day today on my blog!
I apologize right now for how STARRY-filled this newsletter is, but I'm so excited about this book. Not only do I think it may be my best novel yet, it's already received five starred reviews! Rain Dragon, I admit is tad bit less enthusiastic but I think that is because I'm going to be dragging her places on our mini-book tour.
Below, see a sneak peak at some of the giveaways I'm announcing throughout the day during my online book party that I don't want you to miss. However, there's lots of other fun things going on at at the book party too, so don't forget to check in there during the day!
