Let me just begin today’s blog post by stating that I am a total dork sometimes who gets excited by the little things and today is one of those days.
Today is the second time that I have received mail from one of my followers. It’s not a big deal, it’s not a “fan” letter or anything like that. In fact, it’s his book that I plan to review and blog about in September.
I’ve had other books emailed over via PDF. I’ve even had a manuscript in unbound pages mailed to me. But this is the very first book, solid and complete, that has been mailed to me for a review. Now, while I love all of the books that I have been sent, all bibliophiles know that there is something simply wondrous about the physicality of a book itself.
Also, (beyond gaining a new book for my library) this was a super amazing incident for me because it shows that my hard work is really paying off. When I began blogging, I really hoped that I would reach out to this community and gain, not only followers, but friends. Well, I have definitely gained friends (you guys are awesome)!
Also, call me a dork, but receiving that book in my mailbox was a huge deal for me because I truly feel immersed in this writing community! I am engaging with so many different writers and it’s been great.
If you are interested in having me read, review, and blog about your book, please leave a comment below or message me. You can also check out the original post here: Now Offering: Book Reviews.
Yay! 🙌
I’m glad to be among your community

Wow! This is wonderful news. I DO know the feeling of having a real live book! Nothing like it. I can’t read books any more because I am blind, but I LOVE the feel and the smell of them. I will never get rid of my huge library, whatever happens. Great Zkaykann

This has just started to happen to me. I think it’s amazing when you see a book shaped parcel posted through the letter box.

This is exactly why I’m not on the kindle train! Nothing like a real book in your hand.

Precisely!! I struggle to read anything online while I can finish a whole book in one day if it’s a physical copy in my hands
