As the fall season draws to a close, New York has been experiencing what felt like an extended summer until just recently. It’s hard to believe that autumn is upon us, given the warm afternoons and lack of rain. The only hints of seasonal change are the leaves dancing in the breeze. This unusual period has been filled with memorable events and personal milestones.
This October, I celebrated the release of my first book, and witnessing the reactions and reviews from readers has been truly heartwarming.
I've also translated the book into Ukrainian, making it available in three languages: Italian, English, and
Ukrainian.
It fills me with joy to see something that once existed only in my imagination now in print and shared with readers around the globe. To connect with fellow book lovers, I created a dedicated Instagram page, @bookstagramluna, and I was amazed to discover how many people are passionate about reading. Some avid readers have transformed entire rooms into libraries or even crafted Christmas trees made entirely of books.

As I engage with fellow book lovers, I find inspiration in their recommendations and thoughts. The way they discuss their favorite characters and plot twists makes me reflect on my own writing journey. It has encouraged me to not only promote my work but also to explore the works of others, expanding my reading list and discovering hidden gems.
In this digital age, it’s remarkable how books continue to connect people. I’ve had the opportunity to interact with readers from different cultures and backgrounds, each bringing their own unique lens to the stories we share.
As the year comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on the milestones I’ve achieved and the relationships I’ve built through this literary journey. I look forward to what the new year will bring—more writing, more reading, and more connections.
The world of books is ever-expanding, and I am excited to be a part of this vibrant tapestry of readers and writers. With every page turned and every story told, we weave a narrative that transcends time and space, one that binds us together in our shared love for literature.
