Apple is offering a free download of Dr. Ricken Lazlo Hale's The You You Are in ebook or audiobook form (read by the actor).
For the confused among you, this is a fictional copy of a non-fiction book featured in the fictional Apple TV+ show, Severance.
In addition, the newly release Season 2 has an extraordinary new opening credits:
The sequence was created by Oliver Latta (A/K/A Extraweg), who has been making fantastic work for years:
Kelli Anderson, creator of This Book Is a Camera and This Book Is A Planetarium, has a new font-focused pop-up book on Kickstarter: Alphabet In Motion. I backed this when it launched but forgot to post about it here. Only 3 days left to back!

André Aciman, Nicholson Baker, Kit De Waal, Isak Dinesen, George Eliot, Zora Neale Hurston, PD James, Tove Jansson, James Michener, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Walker Percy, Donald Ray Pollock, Annie Proulx, Mary Roach, James Salter, Mark Twain, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and Lidia Yuknavitch are just some of the authors they've discussed or interviewed.
Libro.fm is a neat alternative to Audible. Points in its favor: DRM-free; kick-backs to independent bookstores (I chose Toronto's awesome Flying Books); credits never expire; not owned by Bezos.
