I attended my first Star Wars trivia night at a local restaurant on Saturday. It turns out, I am not the Star Wars geek I or (everyone else) thought I was.

On a scale of 1-10, 1 being I know that Star Wars exists and George Lucas can't write film dialogue to save his life and a 10 is I am a Wookieepedia frequenter and know that the Temple of Pomojema is located on Circarpous V (yes Read more of this blog post »

J.R. Wagner @Shambhawi, excellent! There are few things more enjoyable than discussing a good book.

@Aalaa, A native Pennsylvanian! I will check out your blog for sure. Give a shout if you need anything for your blog (I have a good supply of giveaway goodies)

Aalaa Hello Mr J.R Wagner!
First of all, thank you so much for the add! It feels great to have an author add me as a friend on Goodreads! And I'm glad that you're from PA! And we both are actually from Montgomery County! I live in King of Prussia, however.
I have a book blog on tumblr that I recently started and I am going to write my own book reviews there. Feel free to check it out! its: ilovebooksandstuff.tumblr.com

So again, thank you so much and your book 'Exiled' is on my to-read list!

Aalaa

J.R. Wagner Hey all, thank you for accepting!

@Ehmi -I'd be a pretty lame-o author if I didn't interact with readers :)

@Pang -keep your eyes peeled, Exiled will be available for free sometime within the next two weeks.

@Greta -The road is insanely well written -truly a work of art...it is also insanely depressing. I have added Ashfall to my 'to read' list. Thank you!

Pang Happy Holidays & Happy New Year =D Hi J.R. :D Thanks for the invite! =D Your Book is very interesting! See you around! :P


message 16: by Greta

Greta Hey, thanks for the friend request.
The Road seems like it is waaay to serious for me. That's post-apocolyptic, right? Cannibalism?
I read one book by that author, though. I read All the Pretty Horses (The Border Trilogy, #1) by Cormac McCarthy and it was beautiful writing.
If you love post apocalyptic, have you read Ashfall (Ashfall, #1) by Mike Mullin ? I really liked it.


Jonababez Thanks for the add! :)
