Twenty-First Tome Giveaway
Wowza! Is it summer in Tucson yet? It sure feels like it… During this twenty-first Tome Giveaway, I had a wonderful day hiding tomes all over Tucson. I hid 30 copies of Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner throughout the day – all at murals around Tucson. If you still need a little help figuring…
