One Minute With Bill

The books that Bookseller Bill of An Unlikely Story has features in his infamous One Minute With Bill Instagram segments (also on Facebook and Tik Tok: @anunlikelystory). Crossing genres, all that matters is if the book appealed to Bill and if he thinks readers will also love it.

Martyr!

A novel

It's funny, smart, poetic, sad, and slightly weird. And the narration by actor Arian Moayed (from Succession) is... Read more
