I thought today would be the perfect day to review this unicorn of a book. It is All Saints' Day—a fitting day to revisit all the crooked ones, no?

Which is, of course, why I'll be attending her signing event later this evening at my local indie, key in hand. I know. I win today. I do. What I do not do is take it for granted.

ReplyDeleteI bet she felt so pretty! I love her hair!

ReplyDeleteWow... I can't believe how big your kids are getting!!! So cute, you always do such a great job with costumes. =) Hope you are doing well! =)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, guys. They had a great time and I have such a fun time on Halloween with them.

I LOVE the flowers in her hair! Gorgeous!
