Hello!
Today is Penguin Teen Thursday!
I’m not playing favorites here because I definitely don’t like to do that with publishers. I love all the publishers I work with and that I get books from in the store and in the mail. Today, though, I wanted to share my love for Penguin Teen.
I remember when I got my first ARC from Penguin Teen and it was a total surprise. I had no idea what I was doing with blogging, reviewing and promoting. I didn’t even really had a niche going. But one day, I got a package in the mail from Penguin Random House and it was a book and author that I had never heard about.
I received an advanced copy of Kiersten White’s new series And I Darken. It was a gorgeous cover and really thick, which is what I absolutely love about books. The thicker, the better. I absolutely loved the story and since then, I’d like to thank that’s when my professional relationship with Penguin Teen started. It was a slow start, but over the years, it has grown tremendously. Now, I get asked all the time to participate in blog tours, receive early copies and even post on Instagram. I absolutely love hearing from Friya in my emails, amongst many others at the publishing house.
Bottom line is that this whole life for me is just one big dream and I’m forever thankful for it, not just because of my relationship with Penguin Teen but for all the publishers I get to work with. I’ve never felt so lucky in my life.
