Listen. Have you bought "Daydreaming of Other Worlds" yet? Because Mizuki Yamamoto's story is so beautiful I had to read it out loud to my husband. And he loved it, too.
Beneath a faded dome of stars, a woman traces old constellations and remembers the voice that once named the sky for her in the beautiful, The Planetarian's Daughter by Mizuki Yamamoto. Available now in Daydreaming of Other Worlds. a.co/d/a09dx1c

ARE YOU FULL OF FEMINIST RAGE? OR MAYBE YOU CONTAIN JUST A LITTLE BIT OF FEMINIST RAGE? OR PERHAPS, YOU'RE HOLDING SOME FEMINIST RAGE FOR A FRIEND? BUY MY BOOK NOW ;)
Look! It's finally here! After the longest, most painful labour ever, I birthed a book. It's feeding well and gaining weight, but it sleeps with its eyes open and wails like a banshee if I put it down.

Thanks @writelikeashark for recommending me. I've thought about trying to get into audiobook narrating but I have no idea where to start. If anyone has any ideas or help, please let me know! I could do with the income plus I enjoy it. Will post link when it's on YouTube.
