Thank you, A Word Edgewise, for hosting this week.
We have been announcing this for the past several days now: GatheringBooks is very excited to be celebrating its 10th year Blogiversary!
The whole month of July will be devoted to sharing our List of 10 for GatheringBooks’ 10 years in 2020 – #GB101020.
