Congratulations on finishing your book! The extra page at the end of a book is often referred to as a "blank page" or "endpaper." This page can serve several purposes, including:
1. **Blank Page**: Often, an extra blank page is included for aesthetic reasons, to give the reader a clean end to the book without text spilling onto the next page.
2. **Acknowledgments**: Some authors choose to use an extra page to thank those who helped in the writing and publishing process.
3. **About the Author**: It may contain a brief biography of the author, including other works, personal background, or information on how to connect with the author (like social media or a website).
4. **Teaser for the Next Book**: If you have a series, this page could include a teaser or an excerpt from the next installment.
5. **ISBN and Copyright Information**: In some cases, additional legal information regarding copyright, ISBNs, or publishing details can be included.
6. **Call to Action**: Encouraging readers to leave reviews, visit a website, or engage with the author's community.
The choice depends on your preference and the overall design of your book.
