Hello Hello! How are you?

Today’s post is a spotlight for Wilthaven by Oli Jacobs, which came 9th place in the #BBNYA2021 competition that I was lucky enough to be on the panel for!!

I had such great fun participating in last year’s panel, and I can’t wait to take part in this year’s panel, but until then, I am going to be bringing you blog posts for all 10 of the finalists, with some reviews where I can squeeze them in, so stay tuned for those.

Thank you to Dave from @The_WriteReads, and the whole team over at @BBNYA_Official for the past year’s competition, and for letting me take part in these tours.

Now, without further ado, here is all the information you need to know about the book that came in 9th place!!

GOODREADS SYNOPSIS

A quiet English town that thrives on local produce, old fashioned values, and survival against the rule of an Eldritch Abomination. Here, you will enjoy endless walks, soothing sounds, forceful avatars, and the kind of joys that only an English township can bring!
