Something new this week instead of our usual Cozy Mystery Monday post. Here is what’s new: when you start a blog, you quickly find out it’s not all book reviews & rainbows. There is a biiiiiig learning curve of ‘stuff’ to figure out just to get started. I learn something new every day because I found out bloggers also have to join a surprising number of groups dedicated to helping people learn to blog! Bloggers teach each other how to do the behind the scenes mechanics of blogging like making things line up ‘right’ and pretty borders & fonts etc, etc.
Why this is good for you, dear reader 😉 is because in one of these lovely groups is a blogger who, at no charge to anyone!!, compiles a weekly list of books being reviewed on a bunch of blogs!! All in one place, just click a link and whammo, there you are reading a great book review!
Some of these books are way outside what I normally read,/review & recommend. Some may even be steamy (!), but that’s ok. Take a look, pass on anything that is too far outside your comfort zone and read on!! It never hurts to see what other folks are reading-maybe we will find some new genre that is perfect for us. If you never look around, you might never see. Ooh, now that’s a great motto, I “Otter” write that down!
