Praise For Scandinavian Gatherings

Blurbs are a huge part of publishing, but what in the world are they? Blurbs are those nice little, praise-filled reviews at the beginning of a new book that talk about how wonderful it is . They are usually written by well-known authors or experts in their field, really amazing, talented people. And I’m lucky to have gotten the most wonderful blurbs for Scandinavian Gatherings. Take a look…!
