Rambling Thoughts: Still waiting on those holds (Eyes that Kiss in the Corners and Laxmi’s Mooch, where are you?!?). Fewer titles again this week as my free time is tied into webinar prep. I’m co-presenting a webinar this week on no-contact programming opportunities, highlighting a lot of the programs you’ve seen here! It’s keeping me busy, that’s for sure.
Make sure to stop by on Tuesdays for short reviews of some of these titles!
