Friday Reads: Another week in the wonderfully ridiculous reading life of Shawn the Book Maniac

#PeopleApril
*The week in review on my channel:*
Wee Book Haul: youtu.be/vuajlGrSaOA?si=SoG5PJu-rGxqN7gN
Zooming In: We like it like that - Bernie, Hunter & Shawn on gay male desire in literature: youtu.be/hBRI4qByLMU?si=SDyYysUTw4A0j8KE
Wee In Other Words: youtu.be/DIANmowjNH4?si=Aijvx9xxqW-LA4O4
I’m now putting mystery guest webpages and books they’ve written near the bottom of my show notes, so that you might better resist the temptation to peek. 😜 (This also means that books authored by mystery guests will not be in the regular book list or time stamps but in that separate section farther down.)
Should you wish, *support me on Patreon*: patreon.com/user?u=75826765
