FaceBook,
please add me as a
friend if you haven't already! Feel free to follow me on
Twitter. And there's a new kid on the block called
CrimeSpace, a
social network for mystery writers and readers. Don't forget
MySpace, I'm on there too. And
Good Reads.
And LibraryThing,
which is probably the only one really worth investing any time into - it's a
place to create a catalog of your books, a personal library if you will.
You can keep it private, or share it and see who else reads what you read.
It's completely fabulous, free if you want to limit the number of books you
catalog; 200 books are free. Or very reasonably priced to go hog wild -
list as many as you want for $10 a year, or the best deal of all, $25 for a
lifetime membership. Only problem is I
don't know where I'm go Lots of new stuff in the BookBitchBlog - Check out how Stephanie Plum is spending the Twelve Days of Christmas plus lots more. Looking for a gift for the reader in your life? Consider visiting the BookBitch Online Store. Get a T-shirt, tank top, coffee cup or even a bookbag like Janet did - then she had it signed by all her favorite thriller writers at ThrillerFest!

Thanks to David Boyne, all around brilliant, creative guy, for creating this banner for me...feel free to steal it and post it wherever banners are flown.
Welcome. I'm so glad you've found me. I've had a life long love affair with books and this is my opportunity to pay homage to the written word.
This is a forum for any and all information regarding the printed matter bound between cloth or paper, or even read aloud onto tape or CD. I offer reviews - lots of reviews - as well as lists of books that I have enjoyed, information about the reading groups that I facilitate, and links to various websites extolling the virtues and practicalities of reading groups, the publishing industry, writers, and booksellers. This is a constantly evolving work in progress. I welcome constructive criticism, ideas, suggestions and/or feedback of any kind.
Peruse and enjoy!
