I haven’t blogged today because I couldn’t decide what the post should be about.
It could be about how I am reading lots of YA fiction (Young Adult for the non writers) at the moment. Above is a selection of recent purchases. Or it could be about how differently I choose books nowadays from how I used to make selections. I still go into a book shop and browse – my version of worship – and I do continue to judge a book by its cover (Pigtopia) but these days I do take lots and lots of notice of bloggers' opinions. I wonder if readers (as opposed to wannabe writers) are also looking to blogs for recommendations.
Mortlock, My So-Called Afterlife and Wasted are by authors who blog. You can find Jon Mayhew’s blog here; Tamsyn Murray’s here and Nicola Morgan’s here. Looking for Alaska was recommended by Nathan Bransford, an agent who blogs here.
