Don’t you just love the smell of old books in the morning? Thank you to HarperCollins Canada for the eARC copy! I am so grateful to be able to request galleys and this was one of the titles on the HCC Frenzy preview list for the summer catalogue that really caught my attention. My thoughts…
“Pumpkin is fabulous! What can I say? I absolutely loved it! I haven’t read the Dumplin’ books in order (rest assured the previous two are on my TBR) but that just means I can promise potential readers in the same boat that you can absolutely read this book first and get the most out of…

I joined the HarperCollins Canada influencer program just in the nick of time to be sent the Fall 2020 YA catalogue links for Edelweiss and this was the only title I really wanted, but as I was brand new to Edelweiss and had no stats to back myself up, and whoever was doing approvals clearly…

Thank you to Marisol Folks and the HarperCollins Canada Influencer program for NetGalley access to the eARC of One of the Good Ones by Maika & Maritza Moulite.
