Ahoy, Matey. There be Pirates
The other day I got a whole box load of books from ye olde publisher. I have to admit, even though I prefer to read ebooks, there's nothing quite like the feel of a paper book. It's just vanity I suppose. And since I rarely indulge my vanity, I'll wallow in its coolness this once.
When I browsed through the book, I was pleased to find review blurbs from some big name reviewers too. Wow!
I promised my editor that I'd do some Goodreads giveaways and I might do a couple here too. I'm here to share da luv...and da luv of pirates. There are plenty in this book, along with ghosts, ghouls, and gargoyles.

Are you still a diehard print book fan or do you read more ebooks now? It happened so gradually with me I didn't realize that the majority of my reading was now 90% digital.
How'd that happen?

If you need any help with generating book buzz, let me know. I've got a couple of avenues I can use.
As for reading, until recently I didn't have an ereader, so the majority of my reads were hardcopy. But since I got the Kindle, I've been reading on that thing like a madwoman. Sometimes it's just easier than reading a printed book. (They're still my first love, though, so I'll never totally give them up.)

Re: digital
I think what's encouraged my e-reading is the ability to increase the size of the text. That's been a godsend for me.
Most of my reading is on the Kindle these days. I bring it everywhere, and I prefer e-ink over paper. There are some genres (like cookbooks and children's books) that work better in paper, but I overall prefer carrying my library with me instead of letting books sit about. (Not that there's anything wrong with having a ton of books in the house.)
BTW, would you be interested in being interviewed by the Blog Ring of Power? Please e-mail me (sandraATsandraulbrichDOTcom) if you are.
Plus, I don't have to haul 40 boxes of books when I move--like last time. Oy.
Re: interview
Let me email you tonight when I get home. You just want to interview me, right? Not the chickens or the dogs? :)
Thanks!
I miss the cool artwork of album covers.
And yes, a great cover. They should fly off the shelves
I know what you mean about amassing books. Sometimes I get a nudge from Amazon asking me to review this book or that one only to discover it's still on my TBR pile.
I do a big hunk of my reading in the winter, but our last winter was so mild I spent much of my time outside working.
I'm about 50/50 print and ebook now. I suspect it will probably stay that way, though more and more of my print books are used.
OT: Do you know Stina Lindenblatt? She's on FB and is one of the blogger on the querytracker blog. Anyhoo, she got an offer from Carina Press and is looking for someone who's published with them to ask a few questions, and I thought of you!
If you're interested, her email is stinalindenblatt@shaw.ca
Congrats on the soon-to-come paper release :-)
I buy most of my books as ebooks, but it's still nice to have a book to hold.
