Five amazing, wondrous book blogs which provide a different perspective, pour forth humor, educate me, or simply fill me with spectacular ideas, thoughts, or dreams.
#1 – Romance Man
The Romance Man is too funny for words. I haven’t been following for long and it seems as though half of his posts are commentary on his life while the other half does refer to books.
It doesn’t matter which as I do enjoy his perspective and willingness to share even the most embarrassing moments in his life. He and his wife, Lexie, are lucky in each other.
#2 – Books, Movies, Reviews! Oh My!
Admittedly, I am prejudiced towards this one as Stormi Johnson asked me to post reviews on her site. It’s a fascinating inside look at how book promotions are accomplished and how Stormi uses her knowledge to help independent and small press authors to market their books online, help them with their social market media, and organize blog tours.
It’s certainly been an eye-opener for me as I’m such a homebody tucked into my own reading!
#3 – C.S. Lakin’s Live Write Thrive
Lakin’s Live Write Thrive is full of useful information for authors on setting scenes, plots, and character development. These pearls are interspersed with tips on proofreading similar to the Word Confusions I post about in my own blog.
#4 – The Creative Penn
Joanna Penn shares her own experiences in writing, publishing, and marketing books with other authors. Lots of good tips and advice.
#5 – KD Did It Takes on Books
Okay, so it is my own blog… But it fulfills my needs. I like having a resource where I can find out if a story is a full-length novel or a short story. I hate having to search, scrounge, dig, seek, rummage about, ferret around the Internet to find out the title of the book which carries that short story.
I obsess about the chronology of a series and how each story fits whether it’s a novel or novella. I also want to know if the bloody thing is only available as an eBook!
I like to track the characters in a book. It’s gotta be part of my obsessive side! I simply enjoy knowing where and when the character appears and what kind of person they are. It’s also an easy way to remember what’s been happening in the story. In some cases, it also helps me figure out what is going on. Especially in a l-o-n-g story with lots of characters.
