And now a brief chat with a new supporter, Terry N.!
Hi, Terry! You found us through the Tournament of Books, right? I began following the ToB about five years ago. You're probably familiar with the Inprint reading series in Houston?
No, tell us more! They have a book club that discusses a new book shortly after the author's presentation. At one of those meetings, the ToB was mentioned—I've been hooked ever since. In general, what keeps me coming back is your choice of books. Literary fiction is my go-to, but I want to be exposed to new trends and topics. As a matter of fact, one judge inspired me so much I googled her name and found that she works in an independent bookstore in Sarasota. I was about to move to Sarasota, so ToB indirectly led me to a local book source in my new home. Thank you for that!
Big thanks to Terry, all Sarasota lovers, all of our backers. You can support TMN by becoming a Sustaining Member or donating via PayPal or crypto. 🏖️
