I've heard legends about a Goodreads Fairy who enters recently acquired books onto the Goodreads site. Well, I just discovered In the Shadow of Blackbirds is one of her recent additions (click here to go to the novel's Goodreads page). Thank you, Goodreads Fairy!If you have a Goodreads account, I would be honored, humbled, and grateful if you added In the Shadow of Blackbirds to your bookshelf to help me start spreading the news about the book. I'm working on getting myself added as a Goodreads author so you won't have to see that sad little "No Photo" face with the question mark on it.
In other news, I did indeed watch Hugo over the weekend, as I mentioned I would in last Friday's post. In that same post, I also bemoaned the lack of movies set during WWI, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that the First World War played a large role in Hugo—more so than in the book, if I remember correctly. Martin Scorsese even wove actual WWI footage into the film.
Even if WWI hadn't been involved, Hugo was excellent. Read the novel first (it's a fast read), and then run out and treat yourself to the magic of the film.
Congratulations on your Goodreads addition! Very exciting!!! I have an account there but I've never done anything with it. I'll have to finally take the plunge so I can say good things about IN THE SHADOW OF BLACKBIRDS. ; )
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ara. I just recently signed up for an account myself. I had an old one with my other email, but I never used it. Now that I'm over there, I can tell Goodreads is just as addictive as other social media sites. :)
ReplyDeleteLove Goodreads. I've added your book to my to read list. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Julie! That definitely helps me spread the word about the book, even though the publication date may seem like it's eons away. :)
