As a lifelong reader and amateur librarian, it seems my becoming a personal book shopper was inevitable. In 2014, after months of honing my concept and services, and creating a website to showcase both, I proudly launched Bookommended: an individual, international, independent business providing book recommendation and sourcing services. Right away, I began sharing my expertise and passion for books with individuals, parents and book clubs. In each case, I took the time to get to know the customer, their wants and needs, in order to personally select titles to surprise, delight and inspire the intended reader/s. Example results of my unique approach can be seen in the pages of Thailand-based magazine, Wanderlust, where, as columnist of 'The Book List',I wrote original summaries on hand-picked titles to appeal to their readership.
To celebrate Bookommended's first anniversary, I redesigned the website for a fresh look and feel. The republication of the site coincided with the release of my newly developed consultancy services for those embarking upon large-scale book projects. One year later, the online shop front of Bookommended was moved from a separate domain to this page.
To this day when it comes to books, I am here to help, person to person, imagination to imagination.
