Book Drawings

I read a lot of books. I was a book reviewer for several years, so I got used to reading several books for each review I would write. I gave up book reviewing for every magazine, except I do occasionally review for Church Libraries magazine and also recently published a book review in Christian Communicator magazine. I wanted to have time and energy for my own writing.

These days I read manuscripts for a publisher. Even those I'm cutting down on, but I love working with authors and evaluating fiction. Still, after all this work in the publishing industry, I can't seem to stop consuming books and reading about authors.

So, these days I put some of that passion for printed words into my own writing about people (and a lot of them write books or articles or work in the publishing industry) when they were young. Right now I have two book giveaways going on at When I Was Just a Kid blog.

Mona Hodgson writes beautiful children's books and is giving away a gorgeous hard cover book called, How Did Bible Heroes Pray? Hop over to her interview and leave a comment right now to be entered into that drawing. Right now, there are only 2 people signed up.
