So today is the first dog days of summer blogfest and I am so excited as I love, love, love blogfest, so the question of the day is ...
1) describe your fav summer activity thus far.
I have had a very busy summer, what with Insane Reno my first novel being published and so a large part of my summer has been about getting it out there and trying to drum up new readers. This has been an amazing activity and of course having my book published has been awesome, but surprisingly it has not been my fav activity. In fact that has come in the form of other new Authors I have met along the way.
My kindle is currently full of new books just begging to be read and so in all honesty my fav activity this summer has been a very relaxed one, curling up in a comfy place devouring books left right and centre and discovering some amazing new authors.
To many people I feel brush aside new authors, following trends that others are raving about, but I have had the great pleasure of reading some great books by first time authors this summer and I have loved every second of it and because of this I was inspired to start a new authors book club on facebook, that is designed to help and support new authors, by new authors and book lovers alike reading book by other new authors in the group and leaving them honest feedback, we have yet to have our first read as we are waiting for a few more new authors to join, but if you would be interested in taking part scroll down to the post below this one on my blog and take a look at the rules, you'll also find the link to the book there.
we aren't all that strict so even if it isn't your first book you can join in and submit your book to be read, the limit is if you have over 10 books published.
So my best activity this summer by far, is reading and I am looking forward to reading a whole lot more new books by new authors in the future.
Love and hugs Joss xx
Hi, there. Congrats and best of luck with the new book. Happy reading, too.
ReplyDeletethank you.
Delete50 shades of grey?
ReplyDeleteI did read 50 shades of grey, the first book and part of the second, but I just found it very long winded and it just wasn't for me, I just found it so hard to keep reading as it was a bit to repetitive for me.
DeleteI think there are some amazing new writers out there right now.
ReplyDeleteThere really are, I have been amazed by what I have discovered.
DeleteYay! Meeting great people along my publication journey was the best too. And I'm happy to meet you. =)
ReplyDeleteAwww happy to meet you to :)
DeleteCongrats on the publication! Just stopping by for the dog days! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, don't you just love blogfests :P
DeleteWhat an awesome summer for you! :) I have my post for this blogfest set to go tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteoh brilliant, I will look forward to reading it, I was going to do a post everyday for each of the questions, although haven't got around to my post for today yet, but will soon :)
DeleteP.S I brought your book yesterday, am very much looking forward to reading it :)
DeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteI haven't done nearly as much reading this summer as I wanted to :-(
Thank you, oh I hate it when I don't get time to read makes me sad too, hope that changes for you
DeleteSounds busy and relaxing all at the same time. Gotta love reading:)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your book! That's awesome indeed. And reading? I envy you. I have read only three all summer. But I did just send off my ms to the publisher, so I have been busy. So cool for you on your book.
