A Special Update from the Book Goodies Network!

Hello Fabulous Readers!

I am here today with a special newsletter to share some very exciting news, but first I would like to take a moment to introduce myself since you don't often hear from us directly outside of our featured books newsletter.

You may have noticed some changes around the network. My mom, the founder of the Book Goodies Network, Deborah Carney, passed away November of last year from colon cancer. Since then, myself and my adult son have taken over the network. I worked with her as a VA for years on Book Goodies, but also have owned My Book Place and My Adult Place for years. My son, Alec, is a writer and YouTube streamer. We are excited to expand on what mom started back in 2004 and continue growing it into a bigger and better community to serve the bookish community.

Now on to share our exciting news, as well as a holiday wish we are looking for help fulfilling!

We’re excited to open applications for the BookGoodies Network Creator Collective!

This is a welcoming space for bookish creators who love sharing stories honestly — no big follower counts required, no pressure to accept every opportunity.

* Free books

* Optional paid & affiliate opportunities

* A cozy, supportive community

Apply to join the Creator Collective today!

Every year Alec and I adopt a military family in need for Christmas from a woman I've been working with since 2013 at this point.

This year, our family is a paralyzed war veteran, his wife and their preemie newborn that was born at 29 weeks, who they just brought home from the out of state hospital they've been at since Sept. She is on oxygen and has a hole in her heart that will require much more care.

While we are putting together a care package to send to the family, we would love help clearing their Amazon wishlist for baby items. Items range from $8 to $109 and cover some of their most basic needs.

I know that things are tight for many of us this year, but if you can help at all, we would be so very grateful. All items on the list are shipped directly to the family.
