I Left a Book at the Post Office — And I Was Lowkey Nervous About It

You found it. I’m so glad it landed with you — and honestly, I’m a little relieved it made it out of the post office at all.

Here’s what happened. I drove to the Cherry Hill Post Office on Kings Highway today to mail 40 pieces of marketing content to prospective clients. Somewhere between juggling envelopes, waiting in line for about ten minutes for stamps, and trying to keep everything from hitting the floor, I made a decision. When I got to the maildrop, I put it all in — the marketing pieces and your book.

Hands full. Zero hesitation. Into the slot it went.

I’ll be honest — I had a brief moment of wait, is this allowed? Turns out leaving a book for a stranger is not, in fact, a federal offense. But the fact that I was even slightly nervous about it made the whole thing feel a little more alive.

This is book #4 in the book drop social experiment — a series about connection, intention, and what happens when something meant to be found actually gets found. Each book comes from my personal collection. Each one has a label inside that leads back here. And each one goes out into the world with the hope that it finds exactly the right person.

How the García Girls Lost Their Accents by Julia Alvarez deserves another reader. Maybe that’s you.

If you found it, drop a comment. If you’re passing it along, make a video and tag me — I want to follow this book’s journey.
