🎉🎉 Blogoversary 2025 🎉🎉

Fourteen years ago I started a blog I thought no-one would ever read, and I was quite comfy with that idea, and then gradually things started to change and Jaffareadstoo started to gain the attention of authors and publishers and pretty soon I was invited to read and promote more and more books. During this time I have been delighted, thrilled and really privileged to read some amazing books whilst at the same time getting to know other enthusiastic bloggers who all do what they do in order to share the joy of reading. Fourteen years has seen many changes in the blogging world not least in the rise of social media and the various ways of sharing information. Jaffareadstoo occupies just a little corner of this exciting world, enjoying all the book promotions and the lovely banter between readers. I get most of my book recommendations from fellow book bloggers and posts I see online.

Fourteen years ago I read predominantly physical books and I must admit that I still love the look, feel and smell of a new book however, small print and less good eyesight has necessitated the transition to digital and audio books which I have embraced wholeheartedly and I am immensely grateful to authors and publishers who now mostly send digital books for me to read.

Huge thanks, as always, goes to the authors, and publishers, who continue to support Jaffareadstoo, it’s still a tremendous privilege to review early copies of books, something I’ll never, ever take for granted.

And to all those who pop by to read my reviews, ~ thank you, and happy reading 📖
