Howdy,
It’s under construction—or, a better description, a work in progress: WIP—but I wanted to bring some awareness to something new on my site that is in the works.
I’ve recently updated my BOOKS page, a banner menu option or subhead on my homepage, with the purpose of adding a list of recommended readings. Check it out.
(If you do jump in, you may get the sense that it’s not only under construction but underwater—and I’d count that a neat thing.)
Previously the page was designed for my debut novel in its various formats available and as motivation to write more books to post on my BOOKS page. Those two purposes remain very much in play.
But what will also add to the fun, and potentially provide a resource to those readers interested, is a growing catalog of great books for further reading. I envision, with most titles, providing a short summary writeup, that is hopefully helpful or humorous or something more than a hill of beans.
I have also thought to do something in the way of writing reviews on the blog for books I read and post on my BOOKS page as “RECOMMENDED BY THE AUTHOR”—that’s me, not the author of each book: sorry. Could be cool to have links from recommended reading to more expanded blog reviews and vice versa.
That’s kind of the idea at this point.
I’ve got lots of authors and books in mind for including. That part seems unending. In that sense, I hope that it is always WIP.
BOOKS: an exploration, a deep-sea dive, for discovery, of treasured story and other riches told.
