Resource Roundup #69
For the week of March 4th.
Dropping in your inboxes here on this very sunny Saturday. March is here, the flowers have turned purple on the branches, and the world feels full of that early-spring hope once more. Have a great weekend, yall.
Join us for book club this Tuesday, March 7th at 6PM CST/7PM EST to discuss Ava’s Man and introduce Boys of Alabama. Register below, or reach out with any questions.
