Welcome back, everyone! I impulse bought and treated myself to a 3-book special edition book box from Probably Smut. They let you choose the genres and it was a tough choice.

Welcome to Cover Snark! Also, you’ll start to see Alison popping into some posts and eventually running content. She’s covering for when my mat leave starts, but we have a more formal introduction coming soon. From C: Lion Hat or Concerning Growth?

Third, what about … Continue reading Cover Snark: Seeing Eye Puzzles→
