This is a bit of a mishmash post: a book, a fic rec, and a new publishing house that is likely to be relevant to many of your interests.
After listening to me complain on the weekend that I'd run out of books, Matthias spotted a new book that seemed very relevant to my interests: Bacchanal by Veronica Henry, a fantasy novel set in a travelling carnival in the Depression-era US South.

I'm loving the Six of Crows fandom renaissance which seems to have flourished in the wake of the Shadow and Bone Netflix show. I've mentioned already that I wake up pretty much every morning to a kudos notification email on my old fics in this fandom, and I'm really enjoying reading the new stuff people are writing too.
