Hi there! I'm Little Willow. I'm a bookseller and a writer. I'm an actress, singer, and dancer. I'm also a freelance journalist, publicist, and webdesigner.
This blog, for the most part, pertains to books - book reviews, exclusive interviews with authors, press releases, and booklists. My journal has an emphasis on teen fiction, though I read and review adult fiction, juvenile fiction, and non-fiction as well.
