Thursday Bookish Updates #8

Thursday Bookish Updates is a weekly post here at Silk&Serif devoted to anything book related. The main goal of this posting is to keep readers up to date on what’s going on in the community and get a taste of future posts. I will provide information on some community events I am participating in and blurbs on newly acquired titles to be reviewed at a later date. I might even slip in a few surprises here and there.

I was inspired by a post I read by Kelsye at Wise Ink Blog Ultimate Bloggers Guide to Growing Your Readership. Her list of ways to increase traffic got me thinking about how little I actually do to set schedules and really update readers on what to expect from my little slice of the inter-webs. In theory, this feature should help keep me on track and active. My long term goal is to turn this post into a weekly newsletter of sorts outlining where we are and where we are going.

Lately my interests have been focused on snail mail. I believe writing letters has become a lost art and its rather nice to open the mailbox and see a tiny white envelope waiting to be opened! I joined The Book Ninja’s Book Swap and Penpal initiatives and I cannot wait to start getting to know my partners!

The Book Ninja’s events are meant to foster friendship and aren’t necessarily focused on reading or a love of books.  I’m super excited to take part in my first Autumn Book  Swap and Penpal Projects! I think I might  enjoy these sorts of events way too much!

 

 

by A.N. Willis: Alloy Entertainment. The Thirteenth is the second installment of The Corridor series! I was invited to review this guy so I couldn’t really say no..the cover is gorgeous! I can’t wait to catch back up with Stel and the gang to see where they end up this time around! Time is running out for Stel Alaster. The Corridor, the only portal between First and Second Earth, is failing and the barriers between all twelve worlds are thinning. Using her unique ability to travel through the multiverse, Stel sets out to save the Corridor . . . and ends up discovering a mysterious new world. In the sequel to The Corridor, will the thirteenth world hold the key to the Corridor’s secrets? Or will the portal implode and take every last universe down with it?

Got some ideas on how to improve this feature or something that may interest us? Feel free to throw out suggestions, ideas or your own event!
