Here is an interview I did with Lisbeth Avery. I believe it was the first interview I ever did. (:

Abdul | 46 comments "....highest ranked ones are “Fire and Hemlock” by Diana Wynne Jones, “Ready Player One” by Ernest Cline, “Poison Study” by Maria V. Snyder, “Heir Apparent” by Vivian Vande Velde, “Jane Eyre” by Charlotte Bronte, “Ella Enchanted” by Gail Carson Levine, and “White Oleander” by Janet FitchI"

Lovely. I will check out if these books are available at our itty bitty library. As well as books by Nenia :-)


message 6: by Abdul (new)

Abdul | 46 comments I have read White Oleander and now reading Jane Eyre. Really enjoying these books. :-). Blows my mind thinking Jane Eyre was written 160 years ago and at that time, there was no electricity. The dog was named "Pilot", but airplanes were not invented yet.

I had a similar reaction. Oma (grandmother) read it to me the first time and I asked her. This led to a long talk (info dump) about river boats and how they had pilots long before airplanes were invented. Oma loved to drop the knowledge on me, even when I didn’t care to know. LOL



message 8: by Abdul (new)

Abdul | 46 comments Ah so ... Pilot is navigator. I suppose 160 years ago, not many people travelled far, hence the term will not be so familiar. Mr Rochester is a well travelled man. Another thing, how much is 20 thousand pounds worth today? Is it possible to buy a flat in London?

Hmm… At the current conversion rate, I believe that would be roughly 31798.4 USD.

In 1853, if my math is correct, £1 had the purchasing power of about $111.12 USD today. *whistles in surprise*



message 10: by [deleted user] (new)

As to whether that would currently be enough for a flat in London, I haven’t the foggiest. ;)

Here's a blog I wrote today about GR's bogus new policy: http://www.goodreads.com/author_blog_...


message 12: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm still shocked by this, Nenia. By the gods, what next?

^This?

They took one of my quotes from Twitter and stuck me next to an author going, "Bravo, Goodreads!"

Oh wow.... that's just painfully awkward...

Ikr? Hahaha. I've been finding some pretty strange things when I Google myself lately.

Here are two great articles summing up the Goodreads Fiasco -

And there is a Nenia cameo in each of them. :D

message 17: by [deleted user] (new)

I wonder if all the attention on GR’s craptacular policy change will boost your popularity?


message 18: by Nenia, *flails* (new)

Nenia Campbell (neniacampbell) | 213 comments Mod
I'm not sure. That would be a sad way to get popularity, but of course, I love any and all new readers I get regardless of the circumstances. :)


message 19: by [deleted user] (new)

That would be a yucky way to gain readers, but it’d be a great sucker punch to the pendejos
who wrote up the new policy. ;)


message 20: by Nenia, *flails* (new)

Nenia Campbell (neniacampbell) | 213 comments Mod
LOL. Not really, because wouldn't that boost site traffic too? :P


message 21: by [deleted user] (new)

Yes, it would boost site traffic as well, but would it be traffic they wanted? Chances are good that there’d be at least a few more STGRB supporters come into the fold. Would they want more people who would speak out like that or would they rather have sheeple?

Maybe I’m over-thinking the whole thing, I do that when I have no caffeine in me. :)


message 22: by Nenia, *flails* (new)

Nenia Campbell (neniacampbell) | 213 comments Mod
LOL. I'm not sure I'd want a flock of STGRB supporters as fans. But I suppose beggar authors can't be choosers.


message 23: by [deleted user] (new)

Truth there. :o)

Congrats on making the list of most-read for this week, by the way. :)

Thanks Loki!

Also, here is an interview I did for the Something Wicked event. :D

message 25: by [deleted user] (new)

Nice interview!

Can I just say I’m amazed by how young you are? You’re my little sister’s age and already have several published works out. I feel like a total slacker. LOL

Nenia Campbell (neniacampbell) | 213 comments Mod
Hahahaha. I'm not so young. My parents seem to be under the impression that I should be a CEO or something. My dual status as indie-publisher/stocking associate does not impress them in the slightest. LOL


message 27: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm lax on my writing of a review for "Armed & Dangerous)! Mea culpa! *Kowtows*
