ReplyDeleteI have some nice reading infront of me again this afternoon
The YA link was fun. I think many of us can say the same thing. When I was young it was kids books and then just books. There was no such thing as YA -- at least not that I was aware of.
ReplyDeleteAnother great list Cathy. I really enjoyed the article about how bestsellers are made on Amazon. Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteWell, Cathy - another GREAT list of links! I found several new blogs that I must follow, and I particularly enjoyed reading the Penguin article on book covers.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Thank you so much for leading me to the article on "Why Blog Post Frequency Does Not Matter Anymore". I was disheartened by not posting for almost a week now and other occasional lapses in posting because of illness. I feel so much better after reading it and understanding that quality will keep your readers, not quantity. You've made my day Cathy.
