‘In #TheseDreamingSpires the stories are so good it can be difficult to put the book down. Editors Marie O’Regan and Paul Kane should be commended for their choices.’

‘ #TheSecretRomanticsBookofMagic is exactly what it promises to be… Honestly, it feels like a little treasure chest of romantic magic, it’s got me wanting full-length novels from several of these immediately.’

Thanks so much @librarylooter for this!
