I’m a children’s book author, love reading, hiking, research, & coffee. I have a dog and two cats or maybe they have me, idk. https://linktr.ee/kmarcuswrites?fbclid=PAAaa78-5lvHAPCDm_gezi3LpTJkd7ErTo1OJ2WuzkHVN1BgnYS6Yq1-46i-8_aem_AY98e1ATTl71cZU_2RO4epi

Both turned into community building opportunities. This is what I love about Bookish, which I host--I meet fabulous people and learn so much #kidlitchat

(Thanks for the reminder @debbieohi.com !)
As a reader, so many of my personal 'best books of the year' are books that came out years ago and that I only just read now. The first year your book is out isn't the only time for it to connect with readers.

This not only helps boost authors & illustrators (who are going thru a rough time right now) but also shows that you support HUMAN creators.
Thank you.
I edited these, can confirm they are great. :)
