I got to meet some new to me authors and spend time with some long time favorites and friends. One of the books coming out in September is Sherry Thomas' "The Burning Sky." It's a new genre for her: YA Paranormal. She just sent me an ARC and I am just in three chapters and am already hooked! fsbuchlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14928364594015643639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-44998551033516878302013-07-26T00:42:08.140-04:002013-07-26T00:42:08.140-04:00H great pics, whoo

I was a librarian for several years and spent many hours talking to patrons about books and authors and suggesting those they might enjoy. I often find myself doing the same thing with strangers when I am in a books store or library.

I believe Mary Balogh has a new book coming out in August and I just read that Lisa Kleypas hopes her new book, Brown-Eyed Girl, will be out in the fall. I'm looking forward to both books. Also, Judith McNaught just confirmed she's working on a new contemporary trilogy.

Whenever anyone needs to write something down, I pull out my business card to write on the back, and voila, conversation ensues and sometimes I get business or referrals based on it, without "ramming it down their throats".
