My dad once told me something that stayed with me. Your family is there when you need it, your friends are there when they need you but a book? A book is there always, whether there is a need or not. Books have always been a part of my life. That’s why Bookie Monster came to be.

My editorial scope is simple. I want Bookie Monster to be the perfect place for book fans to stop by and find something that will put a smile to their face. Maybe that’s a review of a book they had been considering. Maybe it’s an article about a new trend in the industry. Or what about an interview with a rising star. That’s what Bookie Monster is looking to be. We are all part of this community and we all can help make it special. -30-
