Does anyone have a list of book blogs, legit book reviewers, book magazines, and such places a Mastodontian author could get visibility for their book?
Speaking for myself and other indies that could use the boost, since many of us have left META and need new ways to share the exitement of new releases. (:

Jaclyn Lurker's April Remix on The Literary Lurker follows a cup of black coffee from an Agatha Christie play to a Greenwich Village coach house turned theatre, with a stop at the café that claims to have served the first cappuccino in the US. Her month was more caffeinated than most of ours. #LiteraryLurker #AgathaChristie #BookBlog #OffBroadway https://jaclynalurker.blogspot.com/2026/04/april-2026-remix-coffee-and-tea.html

The Alchemist
By Paulo Coelho
The Alchemist is a widely celebrated novel that blends simplicity with profound philosophical insight. The story follows Santiago, a young Andalusian shepherd, who dreams of discovering a hidden treasure near the Egyptian pyramids. Motivated by this recurring dream, he embarks on a journey that takes him across deserts, through encounters with mysterious mentors, and into moments of deep self-reflection.
What makes this novel compelling is its fable-like structure. Coelho’s writing is straightforward and accessible, yet it carries symbolic meaning that resonates with readers on a deeper level. Central to the book is the concept of a “Personal Legend,” or one’s true purpose in life. Through Santiago’s experiences, the author emphasizes the importance of listening to one’s heart, recognizing opportunities, and trusting the process of life.
This 208-page book also explores themes of fate, spirituality, and the interconnectedness of all things. While some readers may find its philosophical ideas repetitive or overly idealistic, others see this repetition as reinforcing its core message: that the universe conspires to help those who pursue their dreams with sincerity and courage.
We give The Alchemist
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rating: 5 out of 5.The Alchemist is an inspiring and reflective read that encourages readers to examine their own ambitions and fears. Its enduring popularity lies in its ability to speak to a universal human desire—to find meaning, purpose, and fulfillment. Whether read as a simple adventure story or a spiritual allegory, it leaves a lasting impression on those willing to engage with its message. With 65 million copies sold worldwide…If you’ve read it, read it again. If not…Pick it up…you won’t regret it.
