This is my Review for
10 Step Plan to Promote Your Book: Online Book Marketing on Any Budget
As a new author myself, I was very interested in reading this book. First, the title - AMAZING. Let's be honest, it is extremely eye catching. I LOVE IT. For someone like me who is starting out and needs to know all that is possible on a limited budget (if any at all) it was a Godsend!
What it did for me personally is that it validated most of my choices and showed me that I am doing a couple of things wrong.
He does self-promote though and he does try to get you to use his services. That being said, why not? This is his business! If he can use his book to plug his business online, I say why not which is why I kept my rating at 5 stars and not 4. He did not over do it and he was open and honest about it.
ConclusionL Try to read it BEFORE you venture into the world of self-publishing. If you have already ventured into it, read it and see if you are doing things correctly or not ;)

Book Review: The Woman on the Orient Express by Lindsay Jayne Ashford
This is an independent review for The Woman on the Orient Express by Lindsay Jayne Ashford.
When I first started reading the book I found it quite tedious and boring so I decided to try the audible version to get me going. The audible narration wasn't my cup of tea either but after several chapters of listening to the book I got attached to the story and wanted to know more.
The story is fascinating and I liked it quite a bit. There wasn't as much action as an Agatha Christie book, and I could pretty much figure out a lot of what was going to happen but there were enough surprises to keep me reading. The story as a whole is incredibly well crafted and I am now going to read her other book too :)
Definite 5 stars for the book, I would say 3.5 for the audible at best.
