my favorite books of 2023! ("yellowface," "book lovers," "elektra," "tbosas," & more)

This video might be a month (or so) late….but as they say, better late than never! :’) Thank you for your patience, my wonderful friends. It is always such a pleasure discussing everything books, mythology, and storytelling with you.
As mentioned in the video, I have started an official J. Maya book club entitled “Mythos & Maya.” Huzzah! You can get regular updates on our monthly book selections and discussions by subscribing to my Substack. In fact, a little birdie tells me you can be the first to receive news about other story-based projects developing in the J. Maya cinematic universe by subscribing to my Substack, as well: fallouttheotherside.substack....
You can also access an incredible community of like-minded friends by joining the official J. Maya discord!: / discord
