Writers are probably not finding this shut down, sheltering in place, forced to stay home – whatever you want to call it – tremendously difficult. Except for maybe getting exercise. I think I might end up putting on the Covid 15..or 50.
Anyway, I thought about it and then had an idea. 
Since we can’t market our books except on line, why don’t we help each other by posting a review of a blogging buddy’s book once a week? That might drive sales and spread the word.
Whaddaya think?
In the meantime, here’s something to brighten your day.
Great idea, Noelle. Though, as I am still working, I don’t have a lot of time for reading anythin other than research at the moment.
Silly me! I guess I was thinking of either retired people and those not working from home!
I seem to have twice as much work to do at the moment 😉
Hi Noelle, that is a good idea and I try to do that all the time.
I know you do!
Well, I already do a weekly review, so it just has to take its place in line… but it is a good idea!
(and I’ll second Sue’s comment about having twice as much on as usual!)
We are all so busy! Thanks for stopping by. I do review other bloggers’ books but not weekly!
I never get tired of that video. Good idea, Noelle! Happy Easter!
Thanks! That video always cheers me up. Love the music – I’m a huge Bruno Mars fan.
Hello Noelle,
I also think that is a fine idea.
I hope you and your family are continuing to stay safe and healthy.
All best,
Takami
Thank you, Takami! How are you all doing? So far, so good here. We are all sequestered although I’ve snuck over to see my grandson once. He’s two months old and brings great light to our lives!
Thank you for your reply – very relieved to know you are doing well. My husband and I are “hanging in there” too. Our government also declared a state of emergency earlier this week. Fortunately, we can work from home – we are thankful for that.
I can imagine your grandson brings much joy to everyone in the family. Please do continue to take care!❤️
What a fantastic idea Noelle and I think it is a lovely way to build strength in the writing community.
Best Wishes, Charlotte
Thanks, Charlotte. I am posting my review later this week. BTW, would you consider being interviewed by me for a post?
I look forward to reading your review! More than happy to be interviewed for a post! Thank you for thinking of me.
Best Wishes, Charlotte
How about sometime in early May? I can send you some questions for the interview. Can’t wait. But I need your email. Mine is sailingawayng@gmail.com
I have sent you an email! Excited to hear from you.
Best Wishes, Charlotte
Working on the questions!
Great idea, Noelle! Sharing…
Thanks, Bette. I am posting my first review later this week.
Nice thought! I tend to post at least one review a week anyway – either RBRT, a personal reading choice or a book I’ve come to via Twitter.
You’re so right about writers not finding this so hard as most people – I couldn’t care less, and like not having to go anywhere! Only slight annoyances are running out of food things I like and not being able to go to the hairdressers, etc, but they’re very much ‘first world problems’ and not something I’m ever going to complain about!
Yeah, the hair thing is a problem. I had my hairdresser cut my hair pretty short right before the stay at home order came in but I do need a color touch up (shhh). I am taking the Gaelic class three times a week and that takes time for studying, even with open book exams. Right now I am writing a children’s book in Gaelic (very simple) called Fergus (he’s a sea otter) and St. Brendan (one of the biggish Scottish saints). Class assignment..
A great idea, Noelle. What a lovely way to spread a little much-needed joy. I’m posting reviews once a month of 8-10 indie books. It’s been a total blast and feels like a celebration during these dark times. Happy Reading. 🙂
Thanks, Diana. Now that my Gaelic course is over, I have at least three reviews to do! What are you writing now?
Working on the same trilogy that I’ve been slogging through for 2 years, Noelle. Between caring for my parents and their health challenges and now this virus weirdness, it’s been a slow go. Maybe… August! Yippee!
Can’t wait. I do love your books!
Aw, thank you, Noelle. I have to pick up another of yours. I’ve enjoyed them and it’s been a while. 🙂
