July has been a busy month, and we have a few announcements for you before we get to the TWENTY REVIEWS in this update!
First, our Werewolf Month contest is now closed, and we have our winners. Jason and Ryan! Email us at monsterlibrarian@monsterlibrarian.com with your addresses and we’ll have HalloweenCostumes.com send your fabulous animated werewolf costumes straight to your door!
We are pleased to announce that we will shortly debut a blog devoted to YA vampire books called Reading Bites, spearheaded by our own Sheila Shedd. We will let you know when Reading Bites is up and going, and hope that you’ll visit, or at least tell people about it!
