We’ve made some changes this year. First, I get a lot of late submissions and I feel like an ogre turning them down. Conversely, running a March book in the February newsletter usually means no ISBNs or buy-links. So, I’m now accepting those “late” books that just missed Page 3 the deadline, and I suggest holding onto books coming out the month after the current issue. Also, we’re adding reviews!
