Text of the page (random words):
books and writing and more the only thing that held me back the cost and i don t mean the 25 charge for adding their twitter handles to my account one of the things i love about twitter about the internet in general is the way it allows us to connect with other people last week andrew smith favorited and retweeted one of my tweets and yes i had a major fangirl moment i live in a tiny town in california with a population of less than a thousand people and yet i shared mini conversations with people in canada florida new england even a guy in africa how cool is that i wouldn t have had these conversations with people i bought from a list people who may not even know their name was on the list we had these conversations because we share a common interest and finding those people to connect with people who like books and reading writing and publishing movies and music that s half the fun finding and making those connections not buying them i may not have as many followers as some of the people who ve been doing it longer but i m content to find those people over time so that when we do find and follow each other we ll share a real connection maybe even have a memorable

awards for excellence in children s literature were recently announced and the winner in the fiction category grasshopper jungle by andrew smith i was lucky enough to get an advanced reader copy of this ya back in early february before the novel was released and i have to say it was one of the strangest books i ve ever read parts made me laugh out loud and parts made me wonder what andrew smith was smoking when he came up with this plot six foot tall grasshoppers taking over the world yeah like i said but the backbone of the story the relationship between austin his girlfriend and his best friend make it a worthwhile read even if you do have to suspend your disbelief as an enormous grasshopper makes a meal out of the chemistry teacher or when you happen upon chapter titles like never

novel monday june 2 2014 let s review goodreads or point of purchase i ve been somewhat of a slacker recently on goodreads actually with reviews in general i used to write reviews for books whether or not i liked them but that took a lot of time so i started only writing reviews for the books i loved then after hearing about the rise of fake reviews i stopped reviewing all together but the thing is fake review or real i read reviews before i buy a book and having my own book out there makes me realize how important it is to have those reviews from real readers i m so grateful to every person that has ever written a review of my book even if it wasn t a glowing review i just appreciate their time first in reading and second in writing the review so the question remains how do you get legitimate reviews for a book without begging bribing or otherwise paying for them and where do people look for reviews goodreads amazon barnes noble or old fashioned word of mouth i love reading the reviews that come through my goodreads feed telling me what books my friends have read and if we aren t already friends over there send me a friend request i have definitely read someone s review and then gone online to buy the book but otherwise i tend to just look at the reviews at whatever online portal i m buying the book from what about you do you generally review books that you read how much do reader reviews inform your purchases and where do you go to find reviews and speaking of goodreads author friend dawn malone is giving away 10 copies of her new novel bingo summer pop on over to
