5 Links I loved
- Nice blog posts about my book from contributors Lynsay and Georgie.
- This is a great article about how authors don’t get to choose their book covers. I also got the ‘here’s your cover! I hope you love it’ email. I didn’t immediately love it but I think it’s perfect now.
- DJ Suica Penguin! This video is hilarious – keep watching.
- If you like learning about Japan, Maki of Just Hungry/Just Bento now has a Patreon and new blog. She’s so good at explaining Japanese customs, news events, food and culture.
- I always enjoy an illustrated travel diary and Susanne’s trip to Paris to see BTS is lovely.
