I want to do more than just review books. I want us to talk about what we read. If you have a favorite author, please tell me. I am always looking for more to read.
I am hoping that each Thursday I will post Thursday's Thought. Each week in this post I will talk about something about reading, authors, books, etc. This week I want to talk about what we can do as readers for our favorite authors.
What us readers can do for our favorite authors?
1. Review their books
-It does not take long to review a book that you loved. It does not have to be long. Tell us why you like/loved/didn't like the book. There are many sites to do this. I review books on here (as you can tell), Goodreads, and Amazon.
2. Like their Facebook Pages.
-I did a post about My Top 5 Authors I follow. I follow Jennifer Bernard because she does a Happy Firemen Friday post (OMG, must see posts here). I am married to a volunteer fireman.
3. Share their Facebook Posts.
-I think this is important especially when a new book comes out. I know it helps me know when a book in a series I am reading comes out if it shows up on a friend's wall, but it also helps me know any book which that author wrote. Maybe I did not know that she wrote that particular book. Now I can put it on my TRL list on Goodreads and get it.
4. Like them on other sites, too. Like Goodreads, Amazon, etc.
5. Follow them on Twitter.
-Now I do follow some of the authors I follow, but I am not on Twitter that much. I do hope to add some more authors to my Twitter so I can share what reviews I have done on there and use the proper Hashtag for them. I am not sure how long I have been on Twitter, but I am still a newbie.
6. Sign up for their newsletters.
-Again this does not take long. You get information in an email about upcoming books. I love series. It is a favorite of my. Having an author send me an email about an upcoming book helps me out a lot. 7. Tell your friends about what you are reading.
8. Send an email or a comment on Facebook saying how much you loved a particular book. They would love to know that.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post. I hope you liked it.
Happy Reading!
