Just a question, does Crust No One qualifies for "Pie cover"?

What a gorgeous cover Marisa :)

And tasty.... And the series is nice too (I liked a lot her Magical Dressmaking Series as Melissa Bourbon and I'm liking this).

It's good to find a series you enjoy!

Yes, I think this is going to the list of series I keep up to date.

You're a brave woman, Angela! I have to admit, I struggled with that one.

Marisa wrote: "Just a question, does Crust No One qualifies for "Pie cover"?

Crust No One"

Ihate to say no, but I'm not seeing "pie" in the title or on the cover. 😐

No problem, I'd confused an item in the first line. It goes to pseudonym, however.
