Tommaths (he/him)<p>I've counted the number of books I mention in *my* book and it's somewhere in the region of 82.</p><p>The uncertainty comes from the fact that it seems to be a bit like counting standing stones in that it's different every time someone tries.</p><p>That's possibly because I played fast and loose with what counts as a 'book': there are undeniable books, yes. But also paintings, clay tablets and... bones.</p><p>Or maybe it's because I owe my status as Published Author to a favour from the Fae.
