Reading goal = Writer Blogger novels



One of my goals for a while now has been to read as many of my blogger writer friends' books as I can. Sometimes these authors are people I don't really know but am still only aware of because of the writer blogger community I'm a part of. But often they're people I do consider to be friends.

I did make quite a bit of progress this year, with reading the following books:

  • Breakthrough - Stephen Tremp
  • That Fatal Kiss - Mina Lobo
  • Healing Summer - Elizabeth Seckman
  • Reborn - Cherie Reich
  • CassaStar - Alex J. Cavanaugh
  • CassaFire - Alex J. Cavanaugh
  • CassaStorm - Alex J. Cavanaugh
  • Motocross Me - Cheyanne Young
  • Three Daves - Nicki Elson
  • The Trouble With Flying - Rachel Morgan
  • The Shadows Trilogy - Jolene Perry
  • Not Your Fault - Cheyanne Young
  • Nobody Knows - Kyra Lennon
  • Dragonfly - Leigh Talbot Moore
  • Strength - Carrie Butler

And I'm currently reading:

  • The Summer I Found You - Jolene Perry

Obviously I still have heaps of books yet to read, that you guys have written. But I'm quite happy with the progress I made this year.

A goal in the new year is to use some of my "leftover at the end of pay period" dollars & cents to buy copies of your books that I haven't bought yet. But that will probably be a slow, gradual process. For now, I've got plenty of your books still on my Kindle not yet read. And I also have at least one or two print copies on my bookshelves to read, too. Wheeee!

      Thanks for stopping by, Hilary! I love reading my bloggy friends' books. I just hope I have one of my own out there to share someday soon. ha.

      And yes, I always get oddly excited about the idea of what I might read next year. :D

    Thanks so much for reading all three of my books! You rock. And since you read all three, I guess I don't suck.

      Ha ha, far from it! And I can't wait to read your new book either! :)

      It wasn't a chore to read your books, so I should be thanking you instead for writing them. :D

    I am attempting to do the same thing and I plan to get my first Kindle next month which will help me a great deal. I have a few books on that list on my current TBR list. :)

      Yes, I got a Kindle mostly for this purpose ;) And also because I had been given a few free books here & there, and had no way of reading them.

      Though I also find it really useful being able to send my own novels and other stories to Kindle, to read on that. :) I guess it's another way of 'editing on paper', without the paper.

    I think you're totally awesome and I see blog friends as real friends- sometimes more loyal than the ones I see daily. Ever need a review copy, let me know. I always need reviews :)

      Indeed, I am very grateful that I've met such lovely friends through this community - including you! :)

      I'd be happy to read any review copy :D But I do like to support my fwends by buying as well. But I'm more likely to get a review up quicker if I get an ARC.

    What a great blogger you are Trish. I have so many blogger books on my Kindle it's just embarrassing. I have so many started, half finished, finished yet to review. I'll try to organise myself in 2015. I recommend Julie Flander's Ghost of Aquinnah to add to your list.

    I wish you every good wish for Christmas and the New Year!

    Denise :)

    Bloggers write such great books. I've read a few on your list but there's so many more to get to. Definitely a goal for next year! Also to review more, because I've been slacking on that, but I always leave a star rating at least.

    I've read Strength and Reborn, loved them. I love purchasing books from fellow bloggers because I understand how important support and review are. If I didn't work fulltime, I imagine I would buy as many as possible and read all week long.
