Guest Post from Sam’s Teen Reads Corner, presented by Thrice Read Books

  Mornin!

The monthly theme for March is Marketing Madness.  One of my favorite things about being an author, is connecting with other authors.  Reviews are important to some marketing strategies, so I asked Sam from Thrice Read Books to join me on my blog.   

FIRST, LET’S GET TO KNOW YOU A BIT. TELL US SOMETHING UNIQUE ABOUT YOURSELF:  

I love books so much that as a child, I used to eat them. Like, literally. I would eat little samples of the pages. Did you know that different kinds of paper have different flavors? My parents are quite happy that I’ve outgrown that habit. Plus, ebooks! When was the last time you tried taking a bite out of your Kindle or Nook? That’s what I thought.   

WHAT IS THE GENRE AND AUDIENCE FOR YOUR REVIEW VLOG? 

My review vlog focuses primarily on Young Adult and Teen fiction. Occasionally, I’ll read and review something middle grade or new adult. I particularly love fantasy, paranormal, and horror fiction.   

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO REVIEW BOOKS ON A VLOG? 

Sam’s Teen Reads Corner started out as a homeschool assignment when I was in junior high, as an alternative to writing book reports for all the books I read. The format has changed over the years, but I still love the variety of books I get asked to review, and I enjoy the interaction of the live stream format.   

TELL US ABOUT YOUR WRITING EXPERIENCES:  

I’ve drafted three books of my own, though I haven’t gotten around to publishing any of them. (Because editing. And computer crashes. And high school.) I’ve completed one National Novel Writing Month. And I’ve met so many awesome authors as the daughter of bookstore owners. Truly, it’s kind of a bookworm’s dream – living downstairs from our bookstore inventory (I never have to complain that I have nothing to read!). Plus, inventory shopping trips usually result in me getting at least a few books that I get to read before they get listed.  

WHERE CAN WE VIEW YOUR VLOG?  

You can check out our review blog at www.thricereadbooks.com and tune into my live stream vlog most Saturdays at 11 a.m. Pacific time: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKtxPt-TTPnO-IfJesKSq0g
