Following Fiction A look at an online book club that is lacking in members. I am hoping that through this site, we will gain members and start the online book club that I have been looking for. Currently reading, "The Poisonwood Bible" by Barbara Kingsolver. Other books that have already been reviewed include: "Still Alice" by Lisa Genova, "The Graveyard Book" by Neil Gaiman, "The Thirteen Clocks" by James Thurber, "Good In Bed" by Jennifer Weiner, and "Change Of Heart" by Jodi Picoult. I try to get book club questions and fill them out on each post. Then, when you read the book, you can copy paste and fill in your own answers to the questions about the book. Sounds simple! Do it on your own time and get involved in a book club where you don't have to bring a dessert with you and get dressed up...just to end up talking about everything else BUT the actual BOOK!! This is great for reading comprehension skills as well. Enough selling the idea though. If you are interested, please join as a "follower" of the blog. Then I will know when there is enough interest to keep this blog up regularly instead of periodically which is what I do now since it is just me:( Enjoy!!!
What is BookSexy? Start with what isn’t. It isn't Jane Austen. Most of the books that made your high school summer reading list, definitely NOT BookSexy. Anything with “Forgotten Realms” somewhere on the front cover, HELL NO!
No one is saying you can't read these books (at least we aren’t saying that here). But BookSexy is more than a good read, it’s a statement you make to the world.
And that’s the point – We believe that books say a lot about who you are. More than that, we believe you should say a lot about the books you are reading. Why? Because they influence what you think & discuss with the people around you. They make you a more interesting person. Someone can look at you across a room (or coffee house, or subway train), see the cover of your book, and decide then and there if you're someone they need to know. This blog was created to help you choose books that broadcast to the world at large who you are and what you care about.
Our motto – Who you are is what you read.
Dog-Eared Books is situated in NSW, Australia. I am an online bookseller and book addict. I am passionate about books and book collecting. Dog-Eared Books Online previews news and reviews of new and not-so-new books. There will be reviews of new books, however, we like to renew interest in older, hard to find titles. So, you can expect to see a diverse range of titles reviewed on Dog-Eared Books Online. All genres of books will be reviewed with a special interest in true crime, crime fiction and historical fiction. I also have a special interest in children's books and I am passionate about fostering good reading habits in children. Therefore, as well as reviews of books for children and young adult, I will also be posting hints and tips on how to get your children interested in reading. Occasionally, I will also be posting about some of the ups and downs of online book selling and working from home. Feel free to contact me if you have an interest in finding an out of print title as I may know where you can purchase it. I hope you find something that interests you
Bookaholic Blogcommunity For all the incurable book addicts out there who love to share what they are reading.
