Lately, I’ve taken to posting about authors whose new releases cross my radar. There are plenty of them, of course — and I’m always looking for more.
Since my latest update has thirteen authors with new releases (or re-releases), I figured I’d let the band party for another week and remind you of the good stuff that’s already out there. Buying a book in the first 90 days of its release is a great way to support your favorite author (followed only by buying up everything else they’ve published in the past). Here you go: Thirteen Book Blips on Susan’s Radar 1. Anna J. Evans 2. RG Alexander 3. Carrie Alexander 4. Donica Covey 5. Dakota Cassidy 6. Amy Wallen 7. Christina Dodd 8. Shelley Munro 9. Jennifer Estep 10. Elin Hilderbrand 11. Lorelei James 12. Stephanie Kuehnert 13. Vanessa Jaye Let me know if you’ve encountered anything great, rave-worthy, or just worth talking about. Yes, feed my small book problem! ** A lack of link in the book title simply means you can’t buy it via Powells. It’s no statement of quality. |
Get the Thursday Thirteen code here!
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will try to link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!

I always like to hear about books. Have you gone to Librarything yet? It’s a good way of sharing what you have read with friends. I even put covers on my blog. It would be interesting to see what we have in common.

Happy T13! Love the list. I’ve read Shelley Munro’s BIPrice of Love/I/B and Vanessa Jaye’s BIFelicity Stripped Bate/I/B and I enjoyed them both and even blogged my review.

OMG! I got into Christina Dodd’s Darkness Chosen series last week, and I’ve not stopped. I finished reading the second book at 5:00 am Monday, and I had to be up at 7:00 to go to work. Hahaha! I started reading “Into the Shadow” last night, and had to force myself to stop at 2:00 am. Right now the book is hidden in my desk here at work, so when the boss isn’t looking I try to catch some reading.

There is a new Janet Evanovich book out, Fearless Fourteen. Just FYI. Bridget
Susan Helene Gottfried
July 10, 2008 12:29 pm
Yeah, Bridget, but she’s like famous and stuff. I’m focusing on the non-famous writers who want to be famous. BR/BR/And Alice, the funny thing is that I’m pretty sure that Nicholas knows a few of the folk on my list — just from Thirteening (Shelley Munro, anyone?)!

Have you ever been to Powell’s, Susan? I felt like I was in book Nirvana the one time I went to their city of books. Also…no sales tax!BR/BR/My friend Debbie Viguie has a new book out called “The Summer of Cotton Candy” for teens. If nothing else, you should check out the cover. It’s quite nice.

I hate to say it, but I haven’t read any of them yet. I have a toddler, and finding time to read is very difficult. But I will write these down for when I do have the time. Great TT.
Shelley Munro
July 10, 2008 5:06 pm
Ooh! I’m on the list. :)BR/BR/I love Lorelei’s books. In fact she’s guest blogger at my place on 15th July. I’m reading Karma Girl at the moment. I picked up a copy when I went to Hawaii last year and it’s only just worked to the top of my pile.

I haven’t heard of any of these books. The last book I read which I absolutely loved is called “Cold Tangerines” by Shauna Niequist. I guess I haven’t taken the time to read fiction in about 5 years…mostly read non-fiction. Who knows, this list might just be the inspiration I need to go to the public library!

I haven’t read any of these although I do recognize a bunch of them.BR/BR/I’m reading a biography of Alexander Hamilton. It isn’t exciting. I’m fascinated with the subject matter but, um, the book isn’t a fun beach read. I’ve got a few in the queue that are fun to read but I’m saving myself for the RWA conference and the literacy signing.
