And that wraps things up for this post which was the final post for the Hopes and Dreams album launch period! I hope you've enjoyed this journey over the past few months and with the Hopes and Dreams album finally out, I think it's time for a well earned break! What’s next for BTTB? Who can say for sure but I’m sure there’ll be plenty of stuff to share over the next few months, and I’ll be sharing new tracks from the album weekly here on Newgrounds until mid September too! Until the next post I hope you enjoy all the new music and extra rewards and I want to express my biggest thanks to all the patrons and readers for supporting Better Than The Book and the Hopes and Dreams album, and my various other music projects! Hope to see you over on the Patreon Q & A post, and until next time, take care :)
All the best and keep those horns blaring,
Nick
