As is tradition at our house, we open our Cannonball books on Christmas Eve. tiny_bookbot, LouBear was so excited to get the two Shannon Hale graphic novels! And the bookmark magnets are beautiful. HUGE thanks from me to ellesfena for American Royals, Exile from Eden, and the adorable book magnet. Love them and can’t wait to start reading. We are so grateful to be a part of such a lovely community. Happy holidays to all!
