Its been a busy two years. I truly can’t believe I’ve been doing this for so long. I have loved every moment. When I decided to start my blog I wanted to share with everyone my love and passion for books along with my opinions about them. I never realized that I would meet so many wonderful authors and be introduced to so many new worlds. I have been introduced to many new book boyfriends, villains, heroines and so much more. My love for reading has grown and my love for indie authors is new and wonderful.
I have realized that The Book Maven has become a living thing. It changes and grows as the months go by. It started out so small and I wrote about many mainstream authors. Now, it has grown to something I never expected. I have new authors who have become so dear to me and I must read their next book. Most of them are new or emerging and I love that one day I will be able to say I knew them when. One of the best things about this for me is being able to introduce all of you to these new and/or emerging authors. I have had lots of comments telling me they are jumping on a lot of my band wagons. I guess we are gonna have to make room for everyone. 🙂 
Overall, the last two years have been so very important to me and the love and support all of you have shown is overwhelming. I hope that in the coming days, months and years I can keep reading and writing a blog that will introduce you to the new and exciting worlds and characters that I am so lucky to meet. Hopefully one day when I finally finish it you will be hearing about my work. But, until that day I will be here reading and giving you all my opinions about those poignant or not so poignant books.
