Next Week: The Book Pusher's June Mini Book Reviews, Part 2!
Thank you for another round of helpful links, ZM! The Teddy Roosevelt link was my favorite. His mention of lists like the '100 Best' gave me a laugh. Then a pause. How prevalent lists are in our lives. Does a day go by when we're not influenced by somebody else's lists? It's easy to say don't be a book snob, but the impact of lists on how we receive information, whether through books, social media, even search engines--the ultimate list maker--is undeniable. Think of the lengths you go to for your website to be recognized. By the way, I Googled 'southern writer' and got the result: 10 Contemporary Southern Authors You Should be Reading. There's that *should* word again ...
ReplyDelete"Should" is such a loaded word! I'm sure I "should" be doing a lot more than I am to promote my blog, writing, etc. At least I'm trying to do it. Glad you liked the list. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove the Roosevelt quotes!
ReplyDeleteOops, don't think there's a link for the third person pov one?
Yikes! I'll have to hunt that up! Thanks, Deniz.
ReplyDeleteI was going to link to Roosevelt's rules next week. :)That's a great one. I'll have to check the rest of these out.
