For years, I used my personal Tumblr account to post/promote whatever I posted on my eight-year-old book blog. Never thought of creating a separate Tumblr for it, even when I did the same for all other social media accounts.

Well, better late than never. Making use of the new space - apologies for recycled posts over the next few days. And check out the blog!
