Noticed you liked Mudbound, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also southern (and also a bit dark). I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to read more before you commit:

Thanks,

I am extremely remiss in writing to thank you for singling out my library for recognition. Thank you. It seems a little odd to receive recognition since my library (as everyone's, I supposed) grows solely according to my taste or interests at any given moment. That said, I enjoy it greatly and am proud of it; it’s just…odd-—I’m not quite sure what word I’m searching for here—-to receive the approbation of an “outsider.” None of that makes my thanks any the less sincere. I really do appreciate the time and effort you took to look at my library and then add it to your list.

Although we don’t have a lot of overlapping books, I see that we do share several interests, including one in Indian fiction. How is it that you happened to have that particular interest? It’s a category I have read in a little bit but have always enjoyed—and I need to know more and read more. I’ve had only a brief chance to look at your library and your tags (I always find them fascinating to look at; they tell me more, I sometimes think, than even the books do). The breadth of your reading and interests is impressive. I can’t say I know too many people (even here on LT) who have entries under as many different countries as you—from Burma to Egypt and from Iran to Nigeria! Even Wisconsin!

Thanks again for your thoughtfulness.

Thank you for adding me to your interesting libraries. Quite a compliment as your library is interesting as well! I enjoyed looking through it. Have you read Burning Bright by Tracy Chevalier yet? I haven't read it yet, but am sure it isnt a disappointment! Take Care!
