Which books have you read because of a TikTok recommendation so far? ow.ly/VzWq50Oum1T

I know a lot of folks who read my books can’t afford to buy them, or prefer to borrow, and might feel bad about it. I was just notified of my public lending royalties this period, and they will pay 4 entire months rent. So thank you, to all of you!🙏🏾🙏🏾🥰
