Dear Reader:
As I write this letter, the wind is whipping against my window and it just sounds like winter!
I wanted to share a reading tip that I have been enjoying. As you know, one of our other websites is Reading Group Guides.com. We have over 720 reading group guides listed there. While most people use these for book club discussions I have been enjoying looking through the reader questions and author interviews for ideas of what I want to read. As we hunker down during the winter, it might be a good idea for you to explore these as well. It may even inspire you to want to start a club of your own, and the website has tips about that as well.
Also, on authorsontheweb.com our Author of the Month is Elmore Leonard whose new book Tishomingo Blues is due on January 29th. Sign up for the AuthorsOnTheWeb.com newsletter at http://www.authorsontheweb.com/newsletters/newsletter.asp and you could win a copy of the book!
