Welcome to my Weekly Roundup where each Saturday, I post links to things I shared on social media throughout the week that I thought were interesting. I’ll also include book news, cover reveals, and more goodies.

By the way, I also send out this weekly round-up list each week to my newsletter. So if you wish to receive my weekly roundup in your email inbox each week, you can subscribe HERE.

You may noticed that the blog’s been a bit quiet this week. That’s because we had a power outage that lasted several days. I’ll post about it on Sunday.

So on to the roundup.
