Welcome to Huki Links – highlighting some of our favorite literary links and more over the past week from across the ‘net! For more about Huki-Links, check out our inaugural post.
It’s been a long hiatus for huki-links, but I’m hoping to regularly bring back this on a weekly basis with a new Tuesday slot. Some of the links are older as I had a huge backlog of sites bookmarked, but starting next week they should all be within the week again.
The best part of the “huki” is that we all pull together, if you find any fun or interesting book related links/articles please feel free to share them via comments or contact us!
