Name Me A Better Author | August 2023 Recap
About this episode
Mark Twain is a superb author, who else do you really enjoy?
In August 2023 I reviewed 4 books on this channel. Although it wasn't the best of the month I did really enjoy 'Roughing It'. I really just do think Mark Twain knocks it out of the park with his books.
Big thanks to Cole McCormick (from the America+ podcast) and Petar for supporting the show. Very much appreciated!
I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. Kyrin out!
