Holiday Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 17

This video will say it all, but I was disappointed in today’s story. High hopes were dashed as I made my way into these 11 pages. It was 10 pages too long, in my opinion. Sigh…
Full disclosure; I requested this book from Hachette because I wasn’t sure if it was a joke or not. How can I resist reviewing a book called ‘Woke’?

Hahah right???
