As a blogger I use a lot of social media to connect with authors and publishers. Specifically Twitter, oh how I love me some twitter! Before blogging I had a twitter account that sad by the wayside and was just kind of there... doing nothing in my life... then I became a book blogger and Oh my gosh!!!!! Who knew authors would talk to you?! I was super stoked about it (and still am if you couldn't tell).
I love when you tweet that you love a book or it is your Waiting on Wednesday and the author says thanks, that to me is the best kind of reinforcement for what I do here on the blog.
 So what about this More than just Words thing...? I have been a reader for a very long time...always under the covers with a flashlight, or hiding from my family to sneak a chapter during family get together. But it is not just books that strike my fancy, I am also a comic book and graphic novel reader ... I love them so much! As an art minor in college, I love/d anything to do with the arts - museums, photography, charcoal, crafting, books with pictures!!!! So graphic novels are up my alley. I love a lot of them but I would like to share some of my favorite series (Both Graphic Novels and Comics) with you:
Courtney Crumrin by Ted Nafieh

Courtney Crumrin and the Coven of Mystics Volume 2
Courtney Crumrin and the Monstrous Holiday Volume 3
Harley Quinn (The New 52) by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti
    
~~ Read My Reviews Here ~~
Harley Quinn #1 / 2 - No Reviews
As you can tell, I am a fan of the more macabre books and such. I love the vibrant dark colors and fantasy that are intertwined through these series. SO GOOD :) -
Do you have favorites? Let me know!

Twitter is such a great tool. I need to start working on my author interactions through it!
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty to cool to have casual convos with authors. It is very fun!
DeleteI have a lot of interaction with authors on Twitter as well. I love it when I don't tag an author, but they find my tweet and favorite it or retweet it or respond to it. Such a great feeling.

DeleteI never really understood Twitter before I started blogging. Now i'm on it all the time. I just wish more authors saw the value of it.
ReplyDeleteTwitter is wonderful. I have it open all day at work and glance through occasionally. I love it so much, you can chime in whenever and pop back out when you need to.
DeleteI was always skeptical about Twitter - things just seem to fly by so fast. It really is a great tool to connect with your favorite authors.
