Book Blogger Appreciation Week September 15-19

Amy over at My Friend Amy has started a Book Blogger Appreciation Week initiative. I decided to join because I can TOTALLY relate to the post. LOL!

Book Bloggers: You work hard. You read books, you write reviews, you maintain relationships with your readers, publicists, and authors. You are constantly running to the post office to mail your giveaways and participating in carnivals to help boost traffic. You sometimes want to faint when you see the size of your TBR pile, but faithfully you read. And you do it because you love it. Book blogging is for most a hobby. But it’s a hobby that takes a lot of work and time. It’s a labor of love.

Visit My Friend Amy to register for this blogging event.

2008 Faith and Fiction Retreat

Some of the photos on my camera came out darker than I would have liked. So, I had to play with brightness and contrast for some of them. Anyway, this should give you a pretty good idea of the sessions. The Palms of Destin resort was absolutely gorgeous and definitely was a “treat.”

added 8/23/2008 – After the photos scroll down for my recap! The first part is about my adventuresome Thursday afternoon. Read more

Christian Book Expo in Dallas, March 20-22, 2009

I’m still decompressing from this past weekend in Destin, Fl. It was an awesome experience to meet and listen to some of my favorite authors in person. The featured authors included Victoria Christopher Murray, Reshonda Tate Billingsley, Michelle Bowens, Kendra Norman-Bellamy, Sherri Lewis, Dwan Abrams, Bonnie Hopkins and our gracious host, Tiffany Warren.

I also met some blogging buddies like my roommate, Patricia Woodside, Dee Stewart and Rhonda McKnight.

I’m going to post my take (along with photos) on the 2nd Annual Faith and Fiction Retreat this evening or tomorrow, but for now I wanted to share some interesting news.

Next spring, everything about the marketing and selling of Christian books is going to change. The ECPA (Evangelical Christian Publishers Association) is going to host the Christian Book Expo in Dallas, March 20-22.

Literary Agent Chip MacGregor began his blog post with this announcement yesterday. I encourage you as an author or reader to check out the full blog post at ChipMacGregor.com.

Book Buzz Tag – You’re It!

Deena over at A Peek at My Bookshelf tagged me to play along with the “Book Buzz” game . Becky Miller (A Christian Worldview of Fiction) came up with this game to bring participants more blog traffic.

Here’s how it will work.

I’m going to list five MUST Read novels and five Keep Your Eyes on These novels, then tag five bloggers who I’m asking to post my list on their site. They may then add one book to each list but must also subtract one book. Finally they should tag five other bloggers, click here at A Christian Worldview of Fiction, and comment to this post so visitors here know to check out how they may have changed the list.
