There's been so much great feedback after Writers Like Us debuted this month that I thought it's only fitting to give some shout outs to some other new blog series...
Real Men Read YA - Not only is Aaron (@RealMenReadYA) reading YA books, but he's reviewing them from a man's point of view on his blog. If you haven't read his take on Anna and The French Kiss (even Stephanie Perkins approved!) or Hush, Hush, you are in for such a treat! I can't wait to see what he reads next–and if maybe I can convince him to read my favorite book, Something Like Normal...
When I'm Not Writing - Stacey Lee (@Stacey_Lee) started a new series to showcase what writers do when they aren't in front of their laptops. So far she's interviewed Sharon M. Johnston (who revealed her super hero obsession) and my wonderful agency sister, Monica BW (who showed us her Crocs and her favorite beach). I can't wait to see who's next!
The Big Reveal - Albeit not new, I don't feel enough people know about Suzi Retzlaff's (@SuziRetzlaff) awesome blog series, The Big Reveal. She asks a series of questions to featured writers from all levels, un-agented to published. Questions vary from "Do you do a lot of research for your novels?" to "Do you like to re-read books?" and it's always interesting to see how answers vary–or are the same! Also, *cough cough* I have signed on to give my answers for her next installment!
Make sure you're following these new series, and let me know in the comments if you've found any good ones I need to follow back!
Thanks again. This was very cool to see. I haven't been to the others' sites yet, but will head over. I love that name Real Men Read YA. It's good to get the guys POV about stories too. It'll be fun to check out.
ReplyDeleteThanks Suzie! Aaron's a riot, I can't wait to see what he reads next :)
DeleteAnd I love The Big Reveal--such a cool series! Thanks for putting it together.
