Howdy all you wonderful Grand Geeks and Gatherers! As we draw closer and closer to the yuletide celebration I find that the weather is getting that much more colder. Nowadays I find myself indulging in my fandoms wrapped in several layers with a hot cup of coffee or cocoa at my side! And in a bit I plan on doing more of said activity. But before I do so, how about some much needed selections to satisfy your indie reading needs, hmm?!
