I looked at the visual preview and it is gorgeous!!
This seems like a unique little read, and the visuals are just stunning! I can't wait to see this one in person!
That looks like a fun book!
What a gorgeous book. Thank you for the visual preview link. I am putting this on my Amazon Wish List now. Big mistake! Joyce has some other wonderful books listed there. Thank you so much for bringing it to my attention.
