Hi – my name is Erika. I am a wife, a mom to two lovely daughters, an IT professional, and a voracious reader of fiction. I use this blog to share my love of books and all things bookish.
Have you read any of the same books I have? I’d love to hear your thoughts! Please leave me a comment.
You can follow The Book’s the Thing on Pinterest, or follow my reviews on Goodreads and Riffle, too, or contact me at erika@booksthething.com. If you are on Facebook, follow The Book’s the Thing for links to giveaways and free or cheap ebooks, as well.
I’m also on Instagram:

Hi Erika. I see you liked a review I put on Riffle.
We DEFINITELY enjoy the same books. I was really surprised when I saw how many books we have in common.
I didn’t know how to contact you from the Riffle site so I hope you don’t mind that I contacted you here.
