2 Years On... Rachel's Random Resources

What a difference two years can make..  2 years ago I had moved house to the middle of nowhere and took that as the opportunity to quit my incredibly boring warehouse job, and make the potentially disastrous decision (especially if I listened to family members, who were predicting doom and gloom), of setting up my own business , organising blog tours. 

So Rachel's Random Resources was born, and I can honestly say I've never been happier.. ok I've possibly never worked as hard in my life, i really am turning into a boring workaholic at times, but I am so much more settled generally its unbelievable.  

To every single person that has supported Rachel's Random Resources over the last two years, I honestly couldn't do it without you. 

To the book bloggers - without you no tour would ever run, I'm eternally grateful every single day that you seem to want to read the books that I have to offer you, and better still generally seem to really enjoy them.   There are never going to be enough ways to say thank you to you all, but please, please, keep it up!! 

To the authors - thank you so much for trusting me to put together fabulous promotions for your books, I'm still two years on, very excited whenever I see a new enquiry in my inbox, and can't wait to see what reaction your book will get.   

To the readers of blogs - thank you on behalf of all my bloggers and authors that I work with, if you weren't all reading the blog tour posts, and possibly buying books on the strength of our recommendations, then this giant house of cards would topple.   Whether you read one or many blog posts each day or week, you play the most important part of this whole process. Without readers, then the authors would be sunk, and then us book bloggers wouldn't have anything to should about! 

It has been a massive year of growth for Rachel's Random Resources, around 400 tours and cover reveals run since this time last year, with 100 more already pencilled in for the rest of this year and onwards.  

In fact again a massive thank you to any authors and bloggers that I work with, reading this for your patience especially on days when I'm overwhelmed with emails and replies and just need to make graphics instead of reply.  I really do appreciate it. 

And don't worry for those of you regularly reading my blog the reviews are still coming, I'm reading as much as I can, and somehow read 36 books while I was on that massively relaxing holiday to Madeira, so I will in time have all of those reviews coming in. 

Long term fans of Rachel's Random Reads my have realised I love a Christmas book - I've start very slowly reading a few of this years festive releases, and I'm already impressed  - Christmas book review will start appearing from 25th September onwards most likely until mid December, with occasional other books cropping up too! 

I really need to stop rambling,  I'm sure this why I don't write these sorts of posts that often.   

But truly from the bottom of my heart  I'm so massively grateful to everyone and anyone that supports my little business, no matter how you do so. 

Oh - would be wrong for me to not mention that I am always on the look out for more blog tour hosts so if you have a blog, or review regularly on a FB / Insta account, I'd love to have you onboard.  

And if any of you are going to the Capital Crime festival  at the end of September then I look forward to meeting you there!. 

Happy 2nd Birthday Rachel's Random Resources - let's raise a glass to another year of blog tour success!!
