New Books
A SUPER HELPFUL BOOK: A few week ago–and now I totally forget how it happened–I was contacted and asked if I’d be interested in reviewing a new book about social media.
“Heck yeah,” says me.
I can use all the help I can get. I didn’t really expect much, but I was surprised. SOCIAL MEDIA JUST FOR WRITERS by FRANCES CABALLO is a winner of a book. Here’s my AMAZON review, but if you’re still scratching your head over profile pages and fan pages and how those charts work and on and on and on, grab this book. It’s a hit list of what to do for each of social media giants.
A FUN NEW BOOK: Lauren Bjorkman’s MISS FORTUNE COOKIE (Holt) is out. The tag line: Fate will come looking for you. Don’t bother hiding. Sounds enticing, doesn’t it?
If you have a new book coming out. I’ll post about it. Just send me links, a two-three sentence tag line and a cover. I love new books and I love posting about them. If you’ve just read a book you couldn’t put down, I’d love to hear about it.

Great lesson! I try to teach my 5th grade students this rule! Some get it- others are still working on it.
Miss Fortune Cookie sounds interesting!
Also- my brother-in-law lives in Menlo Park! I will have to check out the bookstore the next time I am out visiting. ๐

This isn't the same thing, but it reminds me that something should really be said about "alright." Like, "alright" is NOT "all right"!
And if Her Grammarness could issue an edict that the use of "of" is illegal in such expressions as "It's not that big of a deal," that would be awesome.

I wish I could go to that world building discussion! Wrong coast.
I love your "Her Grammarness" segment. ๐
David P. King says
The Essence sounds right up my alley! Thanks for the highlights! ๐
Lynda R Young says
I find bad grammar in a published book extremely distracting. There was one book I read that had 'though' instead of 'through'. Yikes.
Rose Munevar says
The social media book sounds interesting. I'm not at all a techy person and often feel lost in the internet world. I'll have to check it out ๐

I am going to straight to Amazon for the Social Media book. I need to learn this so bad, er, much. Just teasing there with the "bad" language. Hehe!!

I don't think I even use the word already anymore…
Hilary Melton-Butcher says

@Elizabeth I know. Those taglines are bears to wrestle onto the page.
@Beth Wish you were here.
@Elise I hear you about social media and being overwhelmed.
@E.J. We all need a life jacket!
E.J. Wesley says
Awesome collection! I need to bookmark the Social Media book. I feel like I'm drowning out here most of the time…
Elise Fallson says
I am all ready for this new year to begin and thanks for sharing the book news! (;
The Social Media Just for Writers books sounds like something I could definitely use right now, social media can be so overwhelming at times.
Beth says
If I lived in CA I would so be at the book event. Heading to amazon now to check out your review.
Elizabeth Seckman says
I am so jealous (in a positive way) of books that have that wow…and Misfortune Cookie tagline has it.
I need an online book. Heck, I need someone to hold my hand and walk me through it all!
