Kim Budnick of Tantor Media has acquired world English rights for the audiobook of SISTERS OF THE SPRUCE by Leslie Shimotakahara, a story about female adventure, friendship, and resilience, chronicling a Japanese teen's epic journey with her one friend from a remote inlet of B.C.'s Haida Gwaii during WWI! Sold by The Rights Factory Agents Julia Kim and Sam Hiyate.
A WWI-era journey from Haida Gwaii with a Japanese teen protagonist tier list maker — that's a story I haven't heard before. Definitely adding this to my audiobook list.
One thing I noticed with Drive Mad is how satisfying the progression feels. Later stages become more complex without overwhelming new players too early, which keeps the experience balanced.
I found eggy car last week and didn’t expect it to be this addictive. The balance mechanic looks simple at first, but getting far without dropping the egg is actually pretty challenging.
This is such exciting news about Leslie Shimotakahara’s work getting picked up by Tantor Media! I love how you highlighted the significance of amplifying diverse voices in literature. It would be interesting to see how her unique storytelling translates into audio format audio can really bring characters to life in a level devil different way! Thanks for sharing this update!
Spent a couple hours on Pokiig last week going through the puzzle section. A few of the games were more engaging than I expected — kept telling myself one more level and then lost track of time.
