Covers, vendors, and other news.

Welcome to the thirteenth book review of fifty-three. As you know, I used to provide freelance book reviews to several review companies. It was a great experience that introduced me to new authors and their wonderful books. Each week this year, I’m opening my Weekend Coffee shares with a link to a review I’ve provided. Reviews are three stars or higher. The genres range from picture books to fiction and nonfiction titles.

If we were having coffee, I would share that the cover reveal for my new book is happening on Friday, April 10^th. I will share it here and on my social media platforms. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it.

If we were having coffee, I would share that I have two book events booked. I have a vendor booth reserved for the Stirling Fun Fair in May. It’s a fundraiser for the local public school and library. I also reserved a table for the Belleville ComiCon in August.

If we were having coffee, I would share that I am looking to join a few new blog groups. Do you have a group that you would recommend?
