The Sun and the Star and the 30-minute Ugly cry
I almost didn’t post this, but a confessional blogging style is sort of my brand, so I thought: fuck it! You’re welcome. Yesterday, they released the cover for The Sun and the Star, which is Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro’s Solangelo adventure they’ve been promising for a while.
