It has been fun to get to know you more, and to pray for you. I appreciate groups and blogs where books are recommended by readers who like the same kinds of books as you. Blessings!

I have been an avid reader for years, but didn't know there was a community to reach out to. I love when an author (or really anyone, LOL) leaves a comment on a review that I have done, or a blog post. I can still remember the first time an author commented on a review on Goodreads, I told my whole family :) It was fun.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07944760649572042209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649424089750316818.post-67633806637432197982021-07-10T00:34:03.009-04:002021-07-10T00:34:03.009-04:00Yay for all things Pepper!

I was a librarian for almost 23 years, and a reader all of my life, but I'm fairly new to the Review/Blogging/Street Team game. I love to think that I'm helping to promote reading, and also introducing a reader to a new author. I do enjoy the posts that relate to an author's personal life, and knowing that an author wants to pray for ME is a wonderful comfort. Both of you ladies are great....please keep doing what you do! <br />Blessings!<br />Connie Connie Porter Saundershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09234596850866029756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649424089750316818.post-76179416250199347522021-07-09T19:49:16.852-04:002021-07-09T19:49:16.852-04:00I feel like I am, inside, the ultimate introvert. ...I feel like I am, inside, the ultimate introvert. So I'm sure I'm bad at this. Which just makes me want to be MORE of an introvert. I do love my Launch Team, nice ladies. And I have so many funny people who comment on any posts I put up on Facebook.
