Okay, so this isn't really an ode. I don't have time to sit down and
write poetry. But this post is to sing the praises of some people that
I've found along my publishing journey that I have really come to love.
Book bloggers.
Before
I started publishing, I had no idea these people even existed. I had
never stumbled upon one of their blogs; I had never had anyone ever
mention anything about them. But then I published my first novel and
shortly thereafter my second, and suddenly, I discovered the world of
book bloggers.
Book bloggers are people who devote
their own time and expense to acquire books, review them, open our eyes
to new reads, and have lots of fun along the way. They're creative--some
of their blogs are incredible! They're all avid readers, a trait I can
really relate to. And they do giveaways of great books and other swag.
Seriously. Who knew?
I've contacted
quite a few book bloggers asking for reviews and help promoting my
books. Every single one of them has been respectful, gracious, and kind.
If I weren't so busy juggling mothering my girlies and
trying to squeeze in extra writing minutes, I could see myself loving
being one of these people. And so to you book bloggers that have helped
me and other authors along the way, thank you.
And
for those of you who, like me, never knew such a thing as a book blog
existed, google it. You'll find gobs of great blogs in every genre to
help inform your reading choices.
