Abby Slovin, author of Letters In Cardboard Boxes, fills us in on what inspires her and how Letters came about.

If you've found yourself here at Illiterarty, chances are, you love reading. You probably consider it to be one of your interests, maybe even one of your passions. But maybe you haven't considered what a gift it is that you can read at all, that this passion you have, this joy, is something that given a different set of circumstances is something you may not even know.

Isn't it about time you were reminded?

THE SECRET LIVES OF WIVES

On-Sale October, 2011

Hi everybody, it's the last day of 2007 and I'd just like to thank everybody who's read, commented on, and enjoyed reading illiterarty. The site's been running properly now since April, and we've been doing excellently with getting content online and getting more and more people reading. So I thought that I should do a wrap up blog for the year - the top twenty one reviewed books for 2007.

Now Bill, you’ve just been doing an excellent job this year, excellent.

Most people who visit Illiterarty.com are here because they are looking for something to read. And what better way to figure out what to read than to have it recommended by someone your favourite author?
