Recommended Reading

Note: Support authors, local, indie retailers, and libraries! I recommend purchasing books directly through the publisher, through a local pagan shop or indie bookstore (most links below are to Bookshop.org, which supports indie bookstores), or requesting them at your local library. For ebooks, check out Kobo (and your local library!). For audiobooks, check out Libro.fm (and your local library!).
