Countdown to This Side of the Grave - Kick Off!

Hi Frosties! Guess what? This Side of the Grave is being released in TWO WEEKS! So to celebrate its release Reading Between the Wines is hosting a Countdown to This Side of the Grave event!

What is Countdown to This Side of the Grave you ask?

Well, it is a two-week event that starts today and will run until the release date of TsotG on February 22^nd.

Each day we will have fun Night Huntress themed posts to get you even more psyched for the release.
