I met Ellen Oh at the Tucson Book Festival earlier this year on a panel with two other authors. She is so fun! She's one reason I decided to join this tour to feature this anthology. I'll be reviewing it soon, but I can already tell you it's a five-star read. Find out more about it and check out my mood board below...
