For Review
* The Faerie Ring by Kiki Hamilton, published by Tor Books, to be released on September 27th, 2011

I am SO excited about this book! I read the manuscript last year and I've been anxiously awaiting it's upcoming release. While at TLA, I found out that I'm quoted in the ARC. My quote is on the front inside cover! I am totally shocked and honored to have my quote about the book in the ARC. You can also find my quote on The Faerie Ring book marks Kiki is giving out here. You can read my blurb for it here. I can't wait to share my full review in Sept.
