Love ‘em or hate ‘em, #unboxing posts are a given for authors upon receipt of their printed books. And I gotta tell ya, it’s not a thing reserved for first-time authors. The exhilaration of unpacking such a shipment runs just as high for the second book as it did for the first.

To wit, the following — my #unboxing of A Love Journal: 100 Things I Love About Grandma — in comparison to when I #unboxed my first book, The First-Time Grandmother’s Journal.

Yep, just as exciting the second time!

I promise to share with you my reaction to Book No. 3’s arrival … a book which <ahem> has yet to be written.

In the meantime, A Love Journal: 100 Things I Love About Grandma publishes December 7, and you’re invited to preorder here for delivery on publication day.

And if you’re interested in my first book, The First-Time Grandmother’s Journal, that one can be ordered right here.
