Judge a Book by its Cover – Part one #TuesdayBookBlog

Posted on by

I support indie authors as much as I can, but it’s impossible to do so by reading all of their books. There are many other ways to support them though, and I’ve decided to judge their books by their covers and share my thoughts on my blog. As the saying goes; every bit helps.

Most of us agree that the book cover is very important. I usually judge a book firstly by its cover, secondly the title, and then I’ll read the blurb.

We are all attracted to different book covers and what might grab my attention, might not grab yours and vice versa.

I asked indie authors on Threads, to show me their book covers and I got a whooping 152 responses. That’s a lot of book covers to look over. I’m pleased to say that none of them are awful. Hooray!

This week I’m helping to promote a wonderful book, Story Chat Online Literary Conversations: Series of Short Stories and Ruminations.

The History Behind the Book

Story Chat is a unique online writing programme where several authors submit their short stories for publication on alwayswrite.blog. A community of bloggers and story lovers come together to read the monthly stories and offer constructive feedback to the authors. Not only do they chat with the authors, but to each other as well. They don’t always agree on certain aspects of the story, which makes it all the more fun and interesting.

So This is What Erin at Unbound Roots Wants to Know!

So who is Erin? She is a lovely lady who writes at Unbound Roots. She is a true lover of nature and her blog has a strong focus on staying healthy and active through outdoor pursuits. Not just in the physical sense but also in a way that will encourage you to stop for a while and enjoy the present moment – take some time to smell the roses! Her cheerful and sincere personality shines through her writing and it’s my guess that she’s as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. Check out her blog and you’ll see what I mean!

Erin wants to know all these things about me and 10 other bloggers and I don’t often refuse the opportunity to talk about myself. And I know I’m not the only one so don’t roll your eyes!

1. What inspired you to start blogging?

Okay – for those who don’t know this. I am the alter ego of Gloria who is quite sensible and follows good advice when it’s given to her. And I, Tasheenga, am often moody, anxious, sarcastic and just want to have fun. Gloria has a blog that is all about sensible things like taking care of yourself and every time I try to voice my opinion on that blog, Gloria shuts me down and scolds me. (Very hurtful) So my input on We Are Holistic is very limited indeed. So I started my own blog. Now I can write all about my adventures with my friends and talk about my writing without being told to shut-up. Welcome to The Rambles of a Raving Writer!
