Way to go. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the plug for my novel blog.<BR/><BR/>First, I get drawn by the cover. I read the teasers: book review, the author, and the first few pages. And always a romance, autobiographical, relationship, true life experiences, spy, and mystery novels. I'm currently reading several on-line novels and two other novels that came to me as free offers to buy more books. I really liked "The Whistling Season" by Ivan Doig and "Three Weeks With My Brother" by Nicholas Sparks.<BR/><BR/>I'll keep your suggestions in mind when the time comes for actual publication, if that ever happens, eh?<BR/><BR/>Best wishes with your book.<BR/>Tashatashabudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17707659728810975773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-31735227445362872752008-12-20T03:37:00.000+11:002008-12-20T03:37:00.000+11:00So true.Rebecca Hickmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04564610692580203203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-58233731499176406692008-12-19T18:14:00.000+11:002008-12-19T18:14:00.000+11:00Oh, I forgot the one I HAVE chosen just because of the title was Christopher Moore’s “A dirty Job” – I bought it in an airport while waiting for my connecting flight – and I laughed all the way home :-)Fidahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17870521870676612316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-22117814067985083962008-12-19T16:49:00.000+11:002008-12-19T16:49:00.000+11:00Unlike Lilly or not, I am sure it will be a TRUE Lilly and I am waiting for it.<BR/><BR/>What I read right now? Oh dear... I have books on the couch, on teh flor, under the bed, on the toilet, in the bathroom (yeh, I know, but I don't care), on my desk, on the windowsill...<BR/><BR/>I hardly ever buy books just by looking at the title. I read tons of reviews. If I am not sure, I first order them from the library (and then buy them, I know, I know…) My library is huge, so it’s hard to name a favourite; amongst them are for sure: Fall on your Knees by Ann-Marie MacDonald, A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry, A Sheltering Sky by Paul Bowles; Two Serious Ladies by Jane Bowles; Love in the time of Cholera by Garcia-Marquez, Hypocrite in a pouffy white dress by Susan Jane Gilman… I could go on an on, but I guess you get the picture.<BR/><BR/>On my nightstand (amongst many): Who ordered This Truckload of Dung by Ajahn Brahm. Short chapters, downright funny but poignant and profound.Fidahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17870521870676612316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-76784853119245760812008-12-19T13:17:00.000+11:002008-12-19T13:17:00.000+11:00WheresmyAngels - thanks I fixed them up -not sure what happened..Lilly's Lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14597193176450931002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-24843599599845176652008-12-19T12:41:00.000+11:002008-12-19T12:41:00.000+11:00Many of your links are reading as an error to me :(<BR/><BR/>You know what I like, not the cover's but the back or the author's photo. Sue Grafton has a few of her holding a gun, or sitting on a chair in the middle of a road. I always picture her main character Kinsey (wanted to name my daughter after her but Child Husband refused)looking like her.WheresMyAngelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10846463631273691864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-58765147885667071812008-12-19T10:21:00.000+11:002008-12-19T10:21:00.000+11:00I am currently reading June's book, "Paternity" and Sylvia's book, "Chasing Ashes" online. They are both very interesting and I like being able to just go to their blog and start reading again. Usually, I like biographies and have read hundreds. I will be looking forward to yours as well. One book I really liked was, "Into the Wild" by Jon Krakauer.Judyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12078537002880283509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-71882884634577618592008-12-19T07:05:00.000+11:002008-12-19T07:05:00.000+11:00Hi Lilly. Another smashing post and thanks for mentioning me. <BR/><BR/>You've a lot of hard work ahead of you. Writing a book is the easy bit, getting it published is a totally different story. But with perseverance it is possible. Just look at JK Rowling. 17 rejections before Harry Potter made it to the shelves. <BR/><BR/>I've read so many books that I can't remember which one inspired me the most. I'm currently re-reading, for the umpteenth time, Ian Banks' Wasp Factory. I must do a review of it on my blog. I first read it over 20 years ago but it is go grippingly grotesque that I often feel the urge to pick it up once in a while and start again.Jonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14629046815891618029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-1174054719450566332008-12-19T06:11:00.000+11:002008-12-19T06:11:00.000+11:00That is great that you are writing a book! My husband has been "writing a book" for 5+ years haha. I bet you'll beat him!

One of my favorites, aside from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, is Markus Zusak's The Book Thief. My husband is German and his parents were children during the war. Zusak's book gives voice to that lost group of children. I really love it. Plus, you know, he's not all that bad on the eyes, the author, I mean :-)Stacy Nyikoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07830844058919457619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-90487135696907774232008-12-19T02:28:00.000+11:002008-12-19T02:28:00.000+11:00Lilly, you really broke that down! Who knew there was such psychology behind book covers? I put your theory to the test by perusing through my book collection. I think you're on the money. I have the sleazy romance, the murder mystery, the classics, gory sci-fi...<BR/><BR/>I've been meaning to get the Twilight series. I know...not very intellectual or life-changing. I've just heard so much about them that I want to know what all the fuss is about. I also love vampire stories.<BR/><BR/>Davidaattygnorrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06068801189433001612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-66850604882800035532008-12-18T14:49:00.000+11:002008-12-18T14:49:00.000+11:00HA HA HA HA - Speedcat Hollydale - I love that comment about the 50 golf books with red spots half ripped off - I have 50 cook books with red spots half ripped off.

If I picked a book by the cover they would all be about golf and hot chicks (sorry - but it's true)<BR/><BR/>I am drawn to out of the ordinary literature. Something that "could never happen to me" types of things, and science fiction.<BR/><BR/>Ohh - and books with that big red dot on them meaning 99 cents.<BR/>Ha haaaaaaaa !!!!!!!

I will come by and visit each of your blogs and leave a comment. I was leaving comments for each person here but it may be better to go visit your blog and leave a comment on your site. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your encouragement on my book too - it isnt going to be humouress at all though - very serious stuff but interesting I hope. The great thing is I also have found out that there are loads of bloggers also doing the same thing. It is truly fantastic. Thanks again.Lilly's Lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14597193176450931002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-62961487444964658982008-12-18T11:38:00.000+11:002008-12-18T11:38:00.000+11:00I am such a sap...I prefer the "fluff" genre. :) Sophie Kinsella, Dot Frank, Nicholas Sparks, Emily Giffin, to name a few. I have read each of their books and wait on pins and needles until the next one comes out. I prefer to be entertained rather than provoked with thought. Am I lazy or what?? :) <BR/>I tried some of Jodi Picoult's books (Nineteen Minutes, My Sister's Keeper) and was up with nightmares b/c they were all I could think about. Although they were great books and I couldn't put them down, I was really disturbed by the storyline. That's why I call myself a sap. :)Mandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11757339989585521274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-82871488846882261742008-12-18T11:09:00.000+11:002008-12-18T11:09:00.000+11:00Hi……… <BR/>Very cool your blog! <BR/>Great!

We all pretend we are high brow and we do it by some other more sophisticated means but like eveything else in life it's the outer wrapping that pulls us in. However just like life sometimes what you see and what you actually get are two different things.

I want your book and I early anticipate it in my hands.<BR/><BR/>I write too, Children's literature - bibliotherapy around protective behaviours. I am in love with two of my characters and I think I will marry both of them when I grow up.<BR/><BR/>My darling angel bought me a surprise yesterday: a book, "More Notes from the Universe" by the adorable Mile Dooley. I opened it on a note that read: What are you doing about it? Because, it takes you doing what you can do before I can do what I can do - you know, miracles and stuff.<BR/><BR/>That one note spoke to me and has motivated me to focus and today continue on product development (a top secret product that is of desire to every thinking man and woman on earth).<BR/><BR/>Have a wonderful day Lilly....and hurry up with that book already.<BR/><BR/>MxxxxMegan from Imaginifhttp://www.imaginif.com.aunoreply@blogger.com
