Finally watched Kpop Demon Hunters and I'm obsessed!

Bookstores, comic shops, and libraries place books on shelves with their covers facing out because we are more likely to peruse a book if we can see its cover.

My review here:

Hi Rob,

Thank you so much!! Wow, what an amazing review! Andrew and I were so stoked to read it and so glad you got so much out of the book.

(Quick note-- the aeakett tagged below is actually someone else! Andrew isn't really on social media.)

Thank you! ♥️
