  • Pretty Girls Do Read

    We are so lucky to receive advanced reader copies (ARC) from Octavia Grant! Her chaotic writing with crazy plot twists are what motivate me to wake up every day 😂 (kinda)

    But there are other great authors looking for reviewers! Would you sign up for a street team? Or maybe you need a promotion on your books?
