From the comments I am reading as I approve them it looks like some readers have added elevation to that towering TBR list today! That is exactly what this event is about–getting readers and authors together in a way that both can gain from it. If each author who posts gets at least one new reader and each reader who visits finds at least one new book that she just has to have, then my purpose is well served!
We’ll be going along for a bit more than an hour yet officially and I know folks who have day jobs or live in distant time zones will be dropping by until quite late, so I won’t say hasta luego just yet.
However, I will mention two things. First is that our next New Book Brew will be on May 4, right here and the same hours. The theme will be fantasy and paranormal, maybe a little futuristic too. These genres have been ultra popular for the last decade and seem to be rolling right along. Myths, fairy tales, and super powers make for some fantastic–no pun intended–stories. I’m not really into vampires but I loved the fantasy of the last quarter of the 20th century and I love even more what some great authors are doing with it today by mixing it with romance! And books like Harry Potter are even getting kids to read and that is fabulous! Anyway, put that on your calendars. We’ll be getting the word out but just remember… There will be more great prizes, too!
The second thing is a reminder that we’ll do drawings for the prizes tomorrow to give everyone around the world a chance to enter. The winners will be contacted and we’ll announce them here and at the CTR Yahoo groups, maybe tweet etc. too. And of course you have to comment to get your name in the hopper! Good luck to one and all. Darn, I want that Samsung so bad I can taste it but I guess I will have to go get my own :-(. It would be bad form for me to grab it and run! Plus I’d have to reach clear out to California as I know Karenne has it in protective custody!
