With 2020 just around the corner, I have been thinking about blog posts for next year. One of my goals, besides keeping the Living Our Best Life weekly questions, is to review at least 6 books that are written by an author who is chronically ill.
Not only do I know what it is like to live with multiple chronic illnesses, I also know how much work goes into writing and self-publishing a book and the enormous amount of effort it takes to promote your publications. So next year I would like to help out my fellow spoonies and promote their work.
If you would like me to do a review of your book, that I will purchase, please leave me a message in the comment section. The book does not have to be about illness, but the author must live with at least one chronic ailment.
I look forward to reading your work!

That’s cool Wendi! I think you have already read my book (One Man’s Very Strange Supernatural Life), but I would love to read a review by you. As you know, I have Celiac disease and I also suffer from Cachexia. I’m looking forward to reading the book you sent me!😊 God bless!

Thank you so much Ryan for leaving your book here again, as no I have not read it yet.
Your book is packaged but not yet wrapped. I had a rough weekend and now we are in a snow storm. My plan is to send it out Wednesday, Lord willing. Thank you!

You are such a sweetheart to offer your help to others who are in the midst of self-publishing.
I’m really looking forward to the process of writing my book this upcoming year.
It’s my #1 goal this coming year.

Hey lady! Questions are fun, aren’t they?!?! Yep! I look forward to hearing everyone’s answers on Sunday’s! My Sunday Quick Questions are in there 37th week! I can’t believe it! You are so kind to offer a review on our books! That’s a lot of work! Promise me you’ll lower that number anytime you need to. When you get a chance, email me your address. I’ll send you my book. It is a journal so you can record your thoughts and answer the questions… yep it’s an INTERACTIVE journal. Of course! I don’t expect a review. I just would like to send you a book for your own use. Only if you want a copy! No pressure at all. Let me know my friend. Wendi, as always, YOU ROCK!😊💜💜💜

NO! I will purchase your book…….no need to send it. I just didn’t want to review a book on here that I was not asked to review. I want to bless others with chronic illness……..I know how much work goes into writing, publishing and promoting…..
So, I will be reviewing your book next year! 🙂 and it is truly my pleasure……….I was hoping you would ask!!! 🙂 YAY!

Have you ever read Unbroken by Lauren Hillenbrand about Louis Zamperini, a track star in the US Olympics team who was in a Japanese POW camp in WWII? The author, Lauren Hillenbrand, has Chronic fatigue syndrome. She wrote Seabiscuit also, but I haven’t read that one.

I am so very sorry that you have been living with illnesses so long. I know what a toll that can take on your mind, body and soul. You will be number 6 of the books I review this year. I have done one review and have 5 more to go. Your will be last so it will be sometime towards the end of the year. I look forward to reading your work. Thanks again for contacting me.

The writings I suggested touch on the pain but it’s mostly about self medicating and the swirls of thought in fear of death.
