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.
Sorry about the brevity of Huki-Links this week. We are preparing for a trip out of the country and have all manner of preparations to do! Also, this may be the last Huki-Links you’ll see for the next 2-3 weeks. I’m not certain I’ll be able to do one while we’re away, so please keep that in mind. Thanks for enjoying Huki-Links!
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!
