Hi everyone! Welcome back to another reading and stuff update! See my previous update here.

I have now read volumes 1 to 3 of Giant Days! This is a comical graphic novel following 3 women in university and their dramatic lives and relationships. The first 3 volumes are free on Kindle Unlimited. Some of the volumes are on Scribd but I was experiencing weird formatting issues unfortunately so I've added the eBook versions to my wish list for now.

Hi everyone! So if you don't know, I started a membership option on my Ko-Fi page which is essentially like Patreon. You pay each month to support people to do what they love and you also get rewards. 

I originally had one universal tier but I have since developed three further tiers. The rewards are optional so you don't have to use all of them, or any of them, if you don't want to. With each tier you get more benefits but all of my members get priority promotion across my blog and social media platforms, as well as access to a Discord server to chat and help each other, a book club, sprints and more.

I can promote your book/s, blog, business, YouTube etc. with links at the end of every blog post, shout-outs on Twitter, mentions in multiple blog posts which are also shared on Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and Twitter. Additionally, for the higher tiers you also get sidebar advertising and I make and share TikToks of your work. Here are some statistics:

Check these books out!

Waiting for the darkness to return.The spirit of the season is far more than Harold Trapp bargained for.
