Nikkei thought I must have paid someone to do it. Still, I’m tickled pink. My wife suggested I made it to the list of "revered authors," understandably because our 30th anniversary is coming up. Wink, wink.

Yep, dear readers, my book "Blah, Blah, Black Sip" just got another review.

I didn’t publish a book to earn accolades or face the ires of coffee connoisseurs who might debate the merits of a 3-in-1 vs. a shot of espresso. My intentions were simple and personal: to capture and immortalize the brilliantly dull moments of my life. This way, when I get older -like a lot older -I can reminisce about those times I might otherwise forget. It’s like a diary to look back on.

But like I said, I am thrilled that somebody I didn’t know read and appreciated my work. To those who have read my book and those who might pick it up in the future, I raise this cup to you.

If you fancy reading the review, here it is: https://anthonyshieh.wixsite.com/anthony.../blahblahblacksip

I’m reading and re-reading this with my second cup of Americano. Happy me. Yay!

Cheers!
