The Door to Lost Pages: An Imaginary Books Contest!

[kestrell]

Kes: The book this contest is promoting is from ChiZine Publications, which was enough for me to think it would be worth reading, but it's about a girl who grows up in a strange bookstore, so now I'll be impatiently counting the days until it comes out in April.

your mind-powers and a little ingenuity.
