3 days. 388 backers. $34k. It’s surreal to see everything that’s happened with The Book of Spores Kickstarter campaign so far, and framing it with these milestones makes it hit even harder. From the TBoS team, thank you all so much ❤️🍄

I cannot wait to read The Blackfire Blade by @jamesloganauthor.bsky.social. It’s one of my most anticipated reads of this year, and I got my hands on a paperback copy while I was in the UK! Not only that, but James signed it, and 100% made my week/month/year with his shoutout in the acknowledgments.
