Your periodic reminder that reviews help authors in all kinds of ways. If you love a book, please consider leaving a review in whatever online space you're in. Thanks for your support!

A text-based graphic encouraging readers to leave reviews for books they love. Text reads:

Reviews help authors

Visibility: People buy books based on word of mouth - help them find your favorites

Connection: When you share what you like about a book, it helps someone else who likes the same things decide to give the book a try. A review helps a reader know what they're getting and why a book might appeal to them.

Enthusiasm: Being excited about something is infectious. When you can't stop talking about a book, people will be curious about why you love it.

Get started!: Don't know where to stary? Try describing your favorite part of the book or a character you liked, then say why you liked it best. Share what kind of reader might also like the book.

Heads up, Bookworms: There will likely be💀supply chain issues💀 this holiday season. So if there are specific books you have your heart set on for holiday gifting, I strongly suggest you buy/order them ahead of time (✨like now✨) rather than waiting until November/December.

Recently while I was shopping at my local book store, I learned of a fundraising effort for a public school library in a nearby city whose library budget for the year was $0 and who didn't have a book in their circulation that had been published in the last ten years.

I fear I have become hopelessly obsessed with playing Graveyard Keeper on Switch and can think about and do little else right now. At least it seems seasonally appropriate! It's also strangely cozy. 👻

I sorted through my mountain of unread books and pulled eighteen titles I'd ideally love to read between now and the end of October for autumn. That said, given my current glacial reading speed thanks in large part due to the horrors of the world, I might have been a little ambitious, but we'll see!
