It’s #WorldBookDay2019 – These are the twelve little paperbacks I’ve published since exactly a year ago today. So if you’re short of something to read and want to read something short, why not try an EDEN miniature? (And yes, for instant gratification they’re also available as Kindle and ePub.) . https://sebastianmichael.com/edenminiatures . #worldbookday #paperback #kindle #epub #bookclub #bookstagram #booksonline #reading #literature #goodreads #fiction #autobiography #publishing https://www.instagram.com/sebastian.michael/p/Butqu1GHB50/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=h3tsn2keafty
