Open Letter To Readers:

This is a tough letter to write as technically you do not exist.  “They” say that no one reads anymore and that you spend all of your time watching TIVO’d episodes of Dancing With The Stars, playing video games, or stealing music from your computer.  If you don’t exist then neither do we, which seems rather odd as we really did write this letter and you are now in fact reading it.

We obviously think that great literature and a strong and intelligent reader base are alive and well.  That the media has chosen to ignore readers is insignificant.  We  believe in great books and created Lit Mob as a way to showcase those books that are worth your time.  We will not be reviewing all books.  You will not see the words “John” and “Grisham” placed together anywhere on our site.  The new Harry Potter?  Sorry, we won’t be covering that either.  Like The New York Times Book Review?  Great, so do we, but we will be traveling on a much different path than the Good Gray Lady.

So what can you expect from Lit Mob?  We promise our readers concise reviews of books that we feel are interesting, and worthy of a strong latte and a warm comforter.  We won’t love them all, and we won’t be afraid to voice our opinion.  We are independent, intelligent, and LOVE books - just like you.
