Summary
Today, we are sharing our new baby with you. The Indie Press List is doing BIG things and we are thrilled to give you a taste of this goodness. If you'd like to get future episodes (including two more from Fabled in April and May 2021), we'd love for you to join us on Patreon. To shop: we would love for you to go directly to the page that Fabled has set up for us for you to make your purchases. It includes each of the little blurbs that we read aloud on this episode. And, of course, you've got all our thoughts here in the audio!
Here's a brief list of each of the five selections, but again, we'd love for you to go directly over to the website above - so there are no affiliate links here! Please put "Currently Reading Podcast" in the "information" part of your order so they know we sent you!
