This year, one of the fabulous hosts of Wyrd and Wonder made a map of prompt ideas for us to use however we so choose. I've taken the map and broken it into five sections to make five little weekly recommendation prompts for myself. So let's start our journey! If any of these books interest... Continue Reading →
