A Tiny Award
I just got an email that my book is among the Literary Titan's monthly 4-star award winners. It's a lovely honorable mention type of a thing (ah, so eloquently put...). It was great to wake up to such an email, and it's all the more wonderful as I don't write in my first language. It took me years to get the nerve up to self-publish because I have a bad tendency to constantly second guess myself so this is invaluable encouragement for me.

Wow, many congratulations Aino! Fantastic achievement. I hope you use this as encouragement for your future writing.

No problem at all.
