Bout of Books 11: Day 2

Day 2

This morning I finished Whatever It Takes by Dixie Lee Brown.

Right now, I am reading Finding Miss McFarland by Vivienne Lorret. I featured it on the blog last week. Check out the post and enter for a chance to win a digital set of DARING MISS DANVERS and WINNING MISS WAKEFIELD (first two books in the series).


Day 1

Goal: My read-a-thon goal is to finish three books. I hope to get around to visit other read-a-thoners when I get home this weekend.

Armchair BEA 2014: Day 2 - Author Interaction on Twittter - @BellaAndre @Louisabacio @pmterrell

Armchair BEA Prompt: Let’s talk interacting with authors IRL (in real life) or online. This is your opportunity to feature your favorite author fan moment (i.e., an author sent you a tweet or commented on your blog).

It's day two! I have one day of posts, cheerREADING, and Twitter partying in the bag.

This morning, I found the message below in my inbox. Swoon!

Bella Andre is the New York Times, USA Today and Publishers Weekly bestselling author of The Sullivans series. Having sold more than 3 million books, Bella Andre’s novels have been #1 bestsellers around the world.

Twitter has changed my interactions with authors since I became a blogger. I never really felt comfortable sending an email to an author with a general question or just to say hello.

I can do that now with Twitter.

I find it easier to keep up with my favorite authors on Twitter. I can see what they are working on, laughing about, promoting, and sometimes what they had for dinner. It's hard to do that checking their websites every few months.

Love your title! @KinkyVanillaRom On the Is it summer yet? hop with you!

p.m. terrell is an internationally acclaimed, award-winning author of romantic suspense. She blogs on the training of psychic spies. Psychic spies.  She is also the founder of Book 'Em North Carolina (a super cool program). I interviewed p.m. terrell on KVR this month. Drop by the post and ask her a question about The Pendulum Files, Book 'Em North Carolina, or about the beautiful Celtic cross necklace that she is giving away. 

 

Don't even get me started on all of the cool bloggers that I have interacted with on Twitter!


Yes. Yes. I realize that I am one of millions of fans. I am also a blogger that gets really excited about smallest of author interactions. The 140 characters or less kind.


What authors have you interacted with on Twitter?

 

I'll be cheering for Armchair BEA participants throughout the week.

 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to visit with you soon!

Ready-o, team 5? Let's Go! We are cheering in #ArmchairBEA this week. *\o/* S/O @estellasrevenge & @chriswolak http://t.co/yLOn98htMS
