Five Wicked Releases and Two Giveaways!

News Flash: Heidi McCarthy is Edith’s winner. Heidi, congratulations, and please check your email.

As the years have gone by, the Wickeds’ World of Books has expanded. We each started off with one published book, and now there are 96 covers on the slide show on this blog. (You can view it if you click on the three white dots in the top right corner of the blog, though I don’t know why you would. We really just keep it up for our own amusement at this point.)

Over the years, it’s become fairly common for us to have two book releases on the same day. But this is the first time, ever, that we’ve had FIVE. And in such an interesting mix of formats.

To celebrate, Edith/Maddie and I are offering one giveaway each, for a total of two possible prizes. Scroll down for the details.
