It’s here! The January YABC Mailbox video!
We got a ton of books in over the holidays. Then I made this video. Then we got in a ton more right after I uploaded this. Drat! They’ll definitely be showcased next month.
We have a special guest star in this video! Jodi Meadows, author of Incarnate and Asunder, did some random dancing for us. She had a little…help…but you’ll have to watch to find out more!
As always, good luck entering the giveaway. And enjoy these great new books!
