FAVE LINKEY-POO RIGHT THIS SECOND: I am so glad I got hooked into the Debs 2009 community, a group of writers who all have books coming out in 2009. I love the advice, the information, and the support this site offers.

Rhonda Stapleton is one of the authors I’ve “met” through Debs 2009. She has a book, Stupid Cupid, coming out in late 2009, and she did this laugh-out-loud interview with her publisher, Simon & Schuster. When asked if she had one sentence of advice for new writers, her answer was (and I’m paraphrasing here) “Read a lot.”

I totally agree. I put Rhonda’s book on my reading list, as well as a bunch of other Debs’ books, and I’m also plowing through a pile of books I got from Swaptree (my fave site for trading books and getting reading material on the cheap).

I just finished The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, which I loved, and I keep track of everything I read on my website, on this page here. I don’t pretend to review them (I’m SO not qualified) but I do try to provide a general synopsis.

In any case, mi bookshelf es tu bookshelf, and I’d love to hear what books you’re diving into (and loving) as well.
