In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi of The Story Siren. It is a weekly meme that shows all the books received for review, bought, borrowed, won and gifted to the blogger and it encourages bloggers to interact.
I had a good book week. I went to the Post Office to pick up 10 parcels and then…there were other books too. I got bookmarks…in which my blurb is used!! (at the bottom)

And now…it is used in these bookmarks and there's a note from Kiki Hamilton! Behold…
This is the first time my blurb was ever used. Heck, this is the first time I was even asked for a blurb! What do you guys think? Aren’t they cute?

OMG I'm so jealous of your mom! My mom doesn't want me blogging and I am only in HIGH SCHOOL! College is 100x toxic than high school, right? My sister said so. I wonder what other kinds of my past time would my mom forbid me from once I get to college.
ReplyDeleteAnyway! That is so awesome. I received a bunch of bookmarks from Kiki but not the ones with your blurb. :( Anywoo, *thumbs up* Congrats, Precious!
Congrats on your great mailbox and that totally awesome blurb!! They were smart to use that blurb too because you've really increased my excitement for that book. :)
