Charlotte Libov's Blog, page 8
August 23, 2009
Welcome to my Goodreads blog!
This is very exciting, the birth of a new blog. As you can see from my RSS feeds, I'm also the Miami Health Examiner on Examiner.com, and you can read my postings there.
I want to make my blog useful for those who love to read, and are also into writing. I'm the author of five books, and, hopefully, more on the way. At the moment, I am "expecting" to give birth to a book proposal that will go to publishers in the fall. This is a very exciting prospect, and will be taking up much of my time.
In the meantime, though, I will share my thoughts here, and I hope that I will make new friends.
Thanks for reading --
