Molly Tanzer is a writer who reads.

And Side by Side They Wander is now up on NetGalley and on Goodreads! Yes, Goodreads is bad etc etc but it does help authors like me if you indicate you “want to read” their forthcoming books. The algo rules the artists, too. Early interest of any sort can really make a huge difference when it comes to a book’s success.

So if you’re of a mind, feel free to hop on over and let the algo know how
