Link Love: The One I Forgot to Post

By the time this post goes live, we will have recorded the annual Pen Addict Podcast Gift Guide episode. (It actually went live yesterday but in the haze of post-recording, I completely forgot to post Link Love. Oh, the shame!) I’ve lost track of how many years I’ve been invited to participate in this event but I am so glad they still ask me to be a part of it. I hope you all enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoy recording it.
