What did you blog about today?

One of the reasons I wanted to start a new blog, as well as have my rambly Thaddeus the Sixth, was to have more focus on fantasy/sci-fi stuff in a professional (using the term very loosely sense), including mentioning when cut-price deals are available. I did mention this on the e-book deals thread so in future I'll probably just mention it there rather than also here, but as it's the first time, here's the blog: The Wayfarer's Rest: Red Sister Deal – just 99p
 
Tried something as bit different and reviewed a quintet of sci-fi and fantasy samples. Quite interesting to see how info-dumping was approached. Two were a bit shorter than I thought they might be. That frustrated me in one case, but in the other it intrigued me (because the premise had been established and questions remained to be answered). The Wayfarer's Rest: Samples Snapshot Review #1

This post really resonates with me; it pretty much sums up everything I've been trying (and failing) to put into words! (Not quite there with the querying yet, but hopefully will be soon once current beastie is done and tidied up...)

Not that I don't love everyone else's blog posts, but that one was a super good idea.
 
Thanks, Big Peat. I was unsure if others would like it, but it seemed like an interesting idea (good for me, and others, to try and find new books). As well as top selling and new releases, I might try random word searches (typical SFF terms like 'kingdom' or 'alliance', within the genre pages) to avoid only looking at books already doing well. Be a little while, though, as I've got about four books to read, plus redrafting Crown of Blood (for which I use my Kindle).
