I appreciate it. Really, it means a lot to me. I experienced a tragic loss a few months ago, and that pushed me to write. I want to share my stories and I want people to know who I truly am. I'm writing to find myself again and I love that people like you care for my books and for my story.
          
          My next book will be about step siblings, you know his father and her mother are getting married, but they can't resist each other even though it's forbidden.
          
          I'd love to show you all my books, so we can discuss your favourite. Thank you again for your kind words.

@Tessa_2005 Tessa, I really appreciate that. I’d love to feature After Forever with Book Nook Cafe because I think its story would connect well with our readers.
            
            We have 6,000 readers, and a feature puts your book directly in front of the community for readers to discover and engage with.
            
            The community itself doesn’t charge authors. There is a separate media production cost for preparing and running the feature.
            
            If you’re interested, I can show you exactly what the feature includes and the cost, and you can decide if it’s right for you.

Hello! I'm Tessa, nice to meet you! Are you a writer or simply a reader? Anyway, I just wanted to ask you if you want to discuss some books, because I have started writing as well, and I need inspiration ☺️. Let me know!

@Tessa_2005 honestly, Tessa, I think your writing has something that is difficult to fake, emotion that feels personal. knowing that parts of After Forever come from things you have actually experienced makes the way Jessica deals with loss and slowly allows someone back into her life make more sense
            
            what i like most is that you don't make the healing feel instant. Jessica doesn't just lose David and suddenly move on. You give her that uncomfortable space where she is still attached to what she had while Natalie gradually becomes part of her life. That makes the relationship feel more human to me.
            
            I also like that you mix your own experiences with imagination rather than simply writing your life as it happened. That gives you room to turn something personal into something other people can connect with.
            
            From what i have read so far, I definitely think After Forever has the kind of emotional story that could give readers something to talk about, which is one of the reasons I wanted to connect with you in the first place.
            
            i would actually be interested in hearing more about where you want to take the story and what you're hoping readers feel when they finish it

@Tessa_2005 Thank you so much! I try to pass my own experience and mix it up with my imagination. Between us, my favourite book is A Second Beginning, because that's what happened with my boyfriend, sort of. What do you think about my writing?

@Tessa_2005 Hi Tessa, nice to meet you too. I’m primarily a reader, and I also coordinate a reader community called Book Nook Cafe on Goodreads.
            
            I found After Forever interesting because it isn’t just a romance about falling in love. The way Jessica is dealing with losing David, while Natalie slowly becomes someone she can trust again, gives the story a much more emotional center.
            
            Book Nook Cafe is a community of 6,000+ readers where we discover books, share recommendations and have conversations around stories that give people something to think about.
            
            I’m always interested in finding writers whose stories could connect with our readers, which is why I wanted to reach out to you.

@waripov_l9 Yes, I did. Based on what I’ve read so far, I’d give it an 8/10.
            
            What stood out to me most is the contrast between his thousand years of being unable to die and the fact that he is still searching for something that gives his existence meaning. Then he meets the girl in the garden and chooses to protect her, serve her and love her despite everything he has already been through.
            
            I also like the tension you've created around the secrets between them. He is protecting her while she has her own reasons for keeping things from him, so the relationship already has that feeling that something painful is waiting underneath it.
            
            The idea of a “demon” being the person who becomes someone's protector, while that same person may eventually be the one betrayed, is probably the part that would keep me reading.
            
            And knowing you only started writing it recently makes the project even more interesting. I can see why you're using the comments to decide when to release the next chapter.

Hi you have wrote me massage. How can I help you

@waripov_l9   I understand, and thank you for being honest with me. Also, I respect the effort you are putting into writing despite your vision problems. The important thing for me is that the ideas and story are yours.
            
            Just to clarify, Book Nook Cafe itself does not charge authors to join the reader community. It is a Goodreads reader community where readers discover, discuss and recommend books.
            
            When we arrange an author or book feature, there can be a separate cost from our media team because they handle the production work needed to put the book in front of the community, such as preparing the feature, creative materials, scheduling and distribution. That cost is not a membership fee for Book Nook Cafe.
            
            A feature can give a book exposure to our 6,000+ readers, which can lead to more reader engagement and potentially more visibility and sales, but I would never promise you a specific number of sales or readers.
            
            And since you are 17 and you've told me you don't have access to international payments, I'm not asking you for money or asking you to commit to anything. I simply wanted you to understand how the community and our features work before you decide whether you're interested.
            
            If you'd like, I can explain what a book feature actually looks like inside the community.

Oh I see. 
            Honestly, I am an 17 year old teenager from Tajikistan 🇹🇯 . I started writing this book on 15-18 of August. 
            I don’t wanna lie about it. I have bad vision and writing is really a pain for me that’s why I use ai , I give it my ideas , thoughts and explain every small detail to the ai and then it writes al of it in a big text for me to copy and paste here . 
            
            I would like to know more about this company but if it ends up you charging me money too join you or do anything else, sorry I don’t have money also our country has no direct access to other countries

@waripov_l9 Hi, I’m Alias. I’m one of the people behind Book Nook Cafe on Goodreads.
            
            I reached out because I saw Demon or Angel and the combination of dark fantasy, romance, immortality, betrayal and forbidden love caught my attention. It felt like the kind of story our readers would naturally be interested in discussing.
            
            Book Nook Cafe is a reader community on Goodreads with more than 6,000 members. We spend a lot of time discussing books, sharing recommendations and discovering stories from different kinds of writers.
            
            I’m not reaching out to ask you for anything. I just wanted to introduce myself properly and let you know why I reached out about your book.
            
            If you’re open to it, I’d be happy to tell you a little more about the community.
