First up, the #Reviewathon from NetGalley. It runs from July 22-Aug 30, so I've already started with this one, and… Continue reading #Reviewathon & NEWTs Magical Readathon TBRs

Hey all, Dani here. I somewhat have my voice back, but overall I'm still trying to not talk, which has been so difficult.

Recommendations: Dice Games
Hey all, Dani here. Considering that Gen Con is right around the corner, I figured I would take a brief break from recommending books so that I could recommend some games to you.
