My Top 5 Favorite Ways to Celebrate National Book Month.

1. Use That Library Card

Libraries certainly aren't dying--but they still need our support! I enjoyed being a part of Berwyn Public Library's event this past summer. I really appreciated the opportunity Quinn Stitt and the Berwyn Library afforded me. Nothing beats sharing the stage with fellow authors!

2. Attend Your Local Book Signing

Not sure where to find local authors and their events? Many libraries and bookstores will have a local author section. And of course, once you've identified an author you like, check to see if they have a website or Facebook page to peruse to see if they have a signing in the works. And check out the happenings section in your newspaper (yes, those still do exist!). Meeting fans and new readers is truly special, and I've been lucky to host a few book signings these last few months.

3. Get Through Your TBR List

We're all guilty of it: the endless pile of books on the nightstand. Give yourself a challenge to start a new book or two this month. And even a one sentence review can bolster that author's exposure to other readers. I'm always truly appreciative of anyone that takes a moment to whip up a review, especially if you liked the novel, lol!

4. Enter a Giveaway

Goodreads is my favorite place to snag a free book. I'm currently running a giveaway myself! Cozy up with your own copy of "Out of Cabrini" in my Kindle edition giveaway: https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/en...

5. Listen to an Author Interview

Weather a little too cold for your liking or you can't find a book signing involving your favorite author? I love getting to know my favorite writers through podcasts (and even appearing on them, too). I sat down with my friend Russell on the PONetwork Podcast, where we talked about what makes a compelling character, what advice I have for aspiring writers, and more.
