Always a good thing to know you aren't too crazy, right? I just love getting to know the story behind the story because it truly does provide some sort of connection the author's books. <br /><br />Oh and MeganRebekah I laughed when I saw your comment on not buying a book after discovering an author isn't the nicest or something. I would feel the exact same way. I think I'll post about something like that!<br /><br />Thanks for the comments!!Rebecca L Suttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09239634586708606373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209535647948718521.post-24705602522902106392009-08-22T02:06:27.004-04:002009-08-22T02:06:27.004-04:00Here here!

I read an authors bio (won't say who in case you love him/her) and went Ew, seriously? And even though I had thought about buying the book the bio completely turned me off. I don't think I would enjoy something written by a person like that.MeganRebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285116194891827858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209535647948718521.post-44041829785119956952009-08-21T14:48:18.069-04:002009-08-21T14:48:18.069-04:00I think this is proof that social networking can r...I think this is proof that social networking can really make or break an author.

Becca Fitzpatrick is the one that first comes to mine, b/c she's so incredibly nice, despite how crazy busy she must be. It helps that her story interests me and her cover is amazing, but still. We want our friends to be successful, and we want to be a part of that success, so of course we want to read their books! :)<br /><br />*goes off to google "The Seven Rays" b/c Bring It On = awesome.JESSJORDANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08915521022827231804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209535647948718521.post-66328468229981307042009-08-21T10:23:18.810-04:002009-08-21T10:23:18.810-04:00OMG this is so true!

Her blog and vlogs are so funny, I had to read her debut As You Wish (well worth it!).<br /><br />And Becca is so sweet. I just got my ARC of HushHush yesterday, and even though I'm supposed to wait until tonight to read it, I've already been sneaking little bits.<br /><br />Just this week I pre-ordered Jessica Bendinger's debut novel The Seven Rays because she wrote the movie Bring It On. What could be a better recommendation than that? I'm hoping her book lives up to the hilarity of the movie.MeganRebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285116194891827858noreply@blogger.com
