Though we are still waiting for summer to start, as far as the weather is concerned, I have being enjoying some time off from my day job and catching up with some reading. There are so many great books out there and I get so little time to read them it was rather like being a kid in a sweet shop. One of the most useful books I read this summer was:-
A Taste Test - YA Paranormal and Contemporary Romance Sampler 2012.
Useful is not a phrase I normally use to describe a good read but this is gives a sample of eight books by eight different authors plus a complete short story. Even better it is free. It is published on Smashwords by Melissa Pearl. What a great idea! You can be sure I will be working my way through a number of them.
