A month or so ago I graded my blog using Website Grader. Recently I've been receiving emails from HubSpot about losing Indexed Pages. What does this mean and how could I have lost those pages? Not sure if this is something I should be "concerned" ...
WHO Anyone who blogs about books is invited to participate. In fact, we want everyone who blogs about books and reading to be a part of this week!
WHAT A week where we come together, celebrate the contribution and hard work of book bloggers in pr...
Like other bibliophiles, I can't pick just one book!
About Me:
I've always been a booklover but in the past few years it seems my love has crossed the fine border into obsession. I don't mind that, though--is there really anything wrong with being obsessed with books?
Hi Trish, I want to introduce you to you my debut novel "A Circle of souls" which is a murder, mystery, psychological thriller and a tale of justice and hope. I was wondering if you would like to review my book for your blog or sites such as Amazon. Do visit www.acircleofsouls.com to read more about the book. If you would like to read it I can mail an advance readers copy to you. Thanks for your time in advance.
Best regards

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”
Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."
Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"
Book Synopsis:
The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.
Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.
The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.
My name is Chris Tusa, and I'm a writer from New Orleans. I am writing because my debut novel, Dirty Little Angels, is now available, and I was hoping you might be willing to mention it on your blog (or review it). If you're interested, I'd be glad to send you an e-book version of the book. Just let me know. I've included a summary of the novel below:
Dirty Little Angels
Set in the slums of New Orleans, among clusters of crack houses and abandoned buildings, Dirty Little Angels is the story of sixteen year old Hailey Trosclair. When the Trosclair family suffers a string of financial hardships and a miscarriage, Hailey finds herself looking to God to save her family. When her prayers go unanswered, Hailey puts her faith in Moses Watkins, a failed preacher and ex-con. Fascinated by Moses's lopsided view of religion, Hailey, and her brother Cyrus, begin spending time down at an abandoned bank that Moses plans to convert into a drive-through church. Gradually, though, Moses's twisted religious beliefs become increasingly more violent, and Hailey and Cyrus soon find themselves trapped in a world of danger and fear from which there may be no escape.

Trish - Initially I was double posting here and on my blog, but I stopped doing that because it seemed like a pain and didn't necessarily draw traffic to my blog anyway. And then I stopped caring about traffic. :) So if we are having a discussion here and I post on my blog I put a link here. Or vice versa. Or we just discuss it here. I'm still trying to figure it all out. Mostly it's just fun to have a central place to meet friends that care about books as much as I do!
YAY!!! So cool to see you here, now that you have found your way I remember you asking me about it....I am so sorry to not have gotten back to you!!
Okay, so now I am here to help. You have started a page, and joined the group those are two of the main steps. In the reading group, or book club (travel the world (from a comfy chair) we are super low-key. We are voting right now (you even already voted!) and we will begin reading in September. I want people to have enough time to get their books. When we start we will set a date to discuss the book, and if you are done you can join in. You can subscribe to the feeds of each of the discussion forum topics if you want updates to be sent to your inbox. If you aren't done yet, no worries, just talk about it when you are. I personally finished our last one at least a week late.
Let me know if I can help you, my friend, with any other questions!! :)
Trixie - I haven't had a lot of time to play around on Book Blogs, but I was able to figure out how to make my page a different color. :) Thanks for the link--I'll definitely have some fun playing around and figuring things out.
How do you find Book Blogs compares to your regular blog on blogspot? Do you double post everything?
