Hello Bookish folks..
When it comes to finding new contributors to ones blog, the search is one of great importance. Without incredibly talented contributors what would we all spend our down time reading when we don’t have our heads in a book? How would we continually increase our TBR’s without gushing reviews from the awesome bloggers out there? It would be a sad and lonely place without them…without you all!
I have been writing my own reviews and bookish posts for over a year now, and it always surprises and wows me when I find new people to connect with.
So, these last few weeks me, myself and I set out on a delightfully perilous journey through the innumerable threads and vast armies of followers to the most magical and dragon plagued world of TWITTER.
The goal: to hopefully find some more awesome contributors to join me.
After trekking through the immense world of social media, I stumbled across quite the find. So, in this update post today, we are going to introduce and get to know some of the awesome contributors joining The Book in Hand!
Sit back and relax, because I’m about to show you just who decided to join!

Our third addition to the blog is a mercenary with many names and master debater from Finland!
Originating in southwestern Australia in the late 1970s, he was raised on a diet of Doctor Who, Red Dwarf and books by Douglas Hill as often as Hill’s poor imitators Asimov and Clarke. He was deemed “too annoying” to be permitted into his school Dungeons and Dragons club. This left him with more time to read.
ANDREW from Hatboys hatstand
Edpool was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2011 and decided to make a book out of the harrowing and hilarious series of social media exchanges he collected about the ordeal, from first symptom to final clean bill of health. For more info on that head here!
