✨ A Little Mystery Manuscripts Spotlight! ✨

I’m so excited and honored to share that Mystery Manuscripts – Blind Date With A Book was chosen as this month’s Meet the Maker in the Blue Ridge Events Newsletter! 📚💛

It’s such a special feeling to see this little bookish idea that started with a love for reading continue to grow and be recognized within our local community. Every wrapped book, every mystery recommendation, and every person who takes a chance on a book they know nothing about is a little piece of why I love doing this so much. 🥹📖

A HUGE thank you to Blue Ridge Events for choosing to feature Mystery Manuscripts and for continuing to highlight the incredible makers, small businesses, events, and hidden gems that make our region so special! 🫶

📚✨ MYSTERY MANUSCRIPTS IS GOING ON TV! ✨📺

I still can't believe I get to type this… Mystery Manuscripts — Blind Date With A Book is going to be featured on WJHL! 🥹❤️

I was recently contacted about being part of their Local Spotlight for the upcoming Back to School Bazaar hosted by Blue Ridge Events, and Mystery Manuscripts was chosen as one of only THREE local businesses to be featured! 😭📚

I’ll be featured on WJHL on Tuesday, August 25th during their 10:00 AM, 12:00 PM, and 12:30 PM broadcasts, sharing the story behind Mystery Manuscripts and what makes our Blind Date With A Book experience so special.

What started as a little idea born from my love of books has grown into a small business that allows me to meet fellow readers, support local events, and hopefully help people discover books they might never have picked up otherwise.

And now… it's going to be on TV. 🥹

To say I'm grateful is an understatement. As a small business owner, opportunities like this mean SO much. Every purchase, share, like, recommendation, and person who has stopped by my booth has helped Mystery Manuscripts get to this point.

So if you've ever supported my little bookish adventure—THANK YOU. ❤️

And if you've never tried a Blind Date With A Book… maybe this is your sign. 😉

📚 Mystery Manuscripts
🎁 Unwrap the Mystery. Discover the Magic.
📺 As seen on WJHL — August 25th!

Be sure to tune in and cheer on this little local business of mine! 🥰📚✨
