Unfortunately, it rules my life these days, so it will be another slow blogging week.
I've been kicking around a few ideas to boost TBR, my new blog for readers to find great reads. First, it will be part of a Leap Day blog hop next month, and I'm giving away a few prizes, so stay tuned for that.
I'm also going to open up weekends for Blurb Fests. To make it easy for readers to find genres they like, the Blurb Fests will be targeted to one specific genre at a time. It may be once a month, maybe twice. I've begun to compile lists of genres, and so far have:
Mystery
Horror
Historical
Paranormal
Steampunk
Western
Romance
General, open to all
Any other genres you'd like to see, as a reader?
How would the Blurb Fest work? Well, thanks for asking! :)
Once I post the accompanying graphic in the post section, authors would paste their blurbs (just blurbs, no excerpts) from their books in the comments section, and provide a link for readers to find more information about it.
Kind of a self-serve, free for all, post. Easy for authors, and easy on me. :)
I'm hoping to garner more followers for TBR that way too.
So what do you think? Would you participate in a Blurb Fest on TBR? Any suggestions? Thoughts? Questions? As always, I'd love to hear 'em!
