going to try

I succumbed to the peer pressure. I'm now a campaigner.
There's still time to join and there are so many writers in all genres, you are bound to make a bunch of new friends and learn a few things. Be a campaigner! Join us! You know you want to!


And thanks to the  Favorite Summer Reads Blogfest I now have a much longer TBR list! I don't have much more to offer other than the books I am looking forward to reading:
  • DIVERGENT by Veronica Roth - had to get it after hearing so much about it and it's just starting to get good (the beginning is similar to Hunger Games so I was immediately doubtful, but it's getting better - we'll see!)
  • UNDER THE DOME by Stephen King - have to psych myself up for the length and breadth of King. I just finished DUMA KEY which was great but looooooooong!
  • TOWERS OF MIDNIGHT by the late, great Robert Jordan and Brandon Sandersen. The last book in the Wheels of Time series - epic! It's on my Christmas list because I have others to read and I want a big, expensive hardcover copy!
HAPPY READING AND CAMPAIGNING!!!

I'm also participating in the Campaign, and I did Sparkfest last week too! Your posts were wonderful. :)

Love your new layout! Makes me want Fall to come sooner. ;)

Everyone seems to be talking about this Campaign. I might have to cave in too...we'll see. ;)

Abby Fowers said...

So glad you are being a campaigner. I was nervous at first but now I am excited and I love connecting with more writers!

I haven't done the "favorite summer reads." I want to but decided that I have my hands full as it is. :( So sad, cause participating is so fun. Still - I can look and get good book ideas!

Hi Tara, I'm also in the Campaign, and I'm having a great time traveling all over the blogosphere and meeting fellow writers. I'm glad you mentioned the Hunger Games. I'd heard about it quite a while ago, and I remember being intrigued. I must get a copy!

Good for you, Tara!

Ok. I went and checked it out and I think I will have to join the campaign, too. I'm a copy cat.

I'm currently on Wheel of Time Book 11. So excited! I rarely meet others who have read that series. It is quite involved. :-)

Tempted. Thinking. Congrats on deciding.

Peer pressure is REAL! I know because I succumbed too;) Should be fun!

So far I've resisted the campaign simply because I don't have time to do proper justice to it - I'm in the middle of planning a blogfest, etc. But thanks for stopping by my blog and I wish you luck! :-)

Hi, I have just joined the Platform Builders Campaign. Look forward to getting to know you better.

Cherie Reich said...

I know what you mean about a growing to-be-read pile. I've found new books too. Now where am I going to find the time to read them? That might be the next quest. :)
