Thanks to Dawn for pledging $80 to become a Sentinel! Defenders of what they believe, Sentinels fight for what’s right and aid those whose intentions are pure. Are you a defender of the arts? Extended goal is funding for the full-cast production of Path Between Worlds,a kind of prologue to Book 2!

Interesting.

There seems to be a trend towards Ukrainian/Russian fantasy books in recent years.

BREAD AND WAR, by Felicity Spector
I listened to the audio, now I have the physical copy. I was surprised and pleased to see that there is a section of color photographs in the middle. A great listen and a great read, captures daily life and extraordinary people in wartime.
