BLOGS FOR BREAKFAST

I'm addicted to early morning reading of literature blogs. The first place I normally go to is Elizabeth Bird's blogspot (otherwise known as Fusenumber 8). I "met" Elizabeth via her review of BLUE - last July, I think it was. I was in awe of anyone who could read and review a book a day and still hold down a job (she's a children's librarian).

Sad to say her review of Blue is no longer on her site but you can read it at Amazon - her reviewer name is (E.R. Bird, Ramseelbird)

I quickly discovered Ramseelbird's reviews could be either scathing or of the she-just-made-my-day-variety! I turn to her now, to get a peek into such things as the way those NY houses give previews of their new books and to find out which middle grade books I just have to get my hands on!

But she provides so much more. Today, for example, there was a link to this post with helpful info regarding upping book sales at Amazon.Thought you might be interested!
