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.
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!
I apologize; there was no Huki-Links last week. I became ill early in the week, and between the extra sleeping and fighting sickness, it slipped through the cracks. Sorry! Anyway, we return this week with some fun links for you to peruse at your leisure. Enjoy!
