In spring of 2020, I was traveling right as Corona Virus was becoming big, places were shutting down, and quarantine was happening. I had a stack of extra proof copies of my books that I was going to give to friends, but due to the pandemic, I wasn't able to before I was forced to head back home. So, I ended up leaving those copies in random places in Mississippi on my way back home for other people to find and hopefully enjoy a small escape.
I ended up really loving having done that, so for every time I travel, I like to leave a book in a place I enjoy. This page is dedicated to that where I post pictures of the books I leave.
If you have found one of these books, I would love to know! Feel free to message me at mayarileyauthor@gmail.com.

Due to the pandemic, rather than traveling around for our normal Christmas celebrations, I left books in places more local.

One of my best friends ended up in the same state at me for a short time so we were able to meet up for a day in Louisville, MS and I left three books. One at Lake Tiak O'Khata restaurant, one at a trail head at a park when hiking, and one in one of the many cabins.

During my trip to New Orleans for a writing retreat, I left behind three books. One in the Air BnB, one at Cafe Du Monde, and one with a lovely bookseller we stumbled upon.
