So, normally I read 1–3 books per month. In September I read 7. RARE is an anthology all about keeping secrets, with a mix of fantasy, sci-fi, and horror. MMM by @paulgzareith.ink is a novella that really surprised me. It's got a fun mix of epic fights and conspiring against the crown.

At midnight, this little book goes out into the world for the first time. It has no clue what it is doing or what to expect. Much like its protagonist, the world's oldest apprentice carpenter. UK: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FRZMFFYB US: www.amazon.com/dp/B0FRZMFFYB AUS: www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0FRZMFFYB

⚔️🍄🌲 New short story available for free on my Ko-Fi page. This is one I've been sitting on for a bit and wanted to get out there, though I plan on spending more time with the characters in the future. 🔗⬇️🍻
