First Time for Everything - Book Tour Host

For the past few weeks (it's almost a month now) I've been doing book reviews on my blog, among sharing some things. This has proven to be loads of fun for me.

During this time, though, some things have occurred. One of the major things being my return to Facebook. As I've mentioned before, I did miss the relationships I developed with strangers and renewed friendships from my past. I also missed out on the interaction with my family. The major deciding factor for my return, and I'm not going to lie, was to share my blog and the reviews I do. I'm happy to have decided this because if it weren't for my blog, I would have continued to miss out on those relationships. So, in a way, it's a win win situation. For the most part, my return was welcomed. I appreciate it and thank those who welcomed me back so warmly from the bottom of my heart.

Also, reading has always been a passion of mines but adding book reviews has given me a purpose. If that makes sense. It feels good to help new and seasoned authors promote their work. Why not? It's a great way to share good books that brings you warmth, comfort or gives you the chills.

I have been ecstatic and truly happy doing this. I feel lighter and happier. I've found something that I truly enjoy doing that is for me while helping others.

In returning to Facebook and creating a page Same DiNamics Book Review Blog, I was able to meet new folks in the writing and blogging world. What a delight.

One of these folks that I met sent me a private message and asked if I was interested in joining her Book-Tour site where they also help to promote authors and their works. I was taken aback by this. I was humbled, in fact. I felt like I was given a chance to continue doing something I love. Naturally, I said yes. I wanted to join her site.

Sylvia has been patient with me as she's answered my questions on what all this entails. She's been great.

So this will be my first time where I will be hosting, if I'm using the blog term correctly, a book for an author. I have selected to do an excerpt of the book and a review of the book. These will be shared on my blog on two separate dates, April 20th and April 21st, respectively. The book I chose to review is called Whisper by Michael Bray. The blurb alone got me excited.



I hope that you will join me on April 20th and April 21st as I share an excerpt of the book and my review. In the meantime, check out the trailer of Whisper and judge for yourself.
