If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

I think more people should confront the fact that Bruce Wayne--and most of the Batman supporting cast--more than likely have south New Jersey accents due to Gotham being right by Atlantic City, canonically
You may not be strong enough to confront this truth, but a truth it remains

In Sonder-44, the Photographer wanders this strange and familiar land documenting and studying everything; all the while trying to find his father The Pilot, his brother The Paratrooper, and his mother the Painter.

The key to running a good #TTRPG narrative campaign, in my experience, is to plot it out like a choose your own adventure. have key points where decisions affect the direction, and be prepared with multiple endings. And above all, don't get locked into a single path. Why? It's frustrating for...1/2
