Adventures around the web October 14-20, 2017
The Washington DC weather is doing what it’s famous for: Hot, hot, cool, hot, hot, cold! I have no heat yet, and it’s freezing! We got frost last night.
Using Universal Links to Sell Your Books
If you’re not using these, they’re a cool discovery. One link, and it goes to a page where all the places your book is sold are listed. So much better than trying to track down different links!
What Makes You Stop Reading a Book?
Some different comments from readers. I’ll put down a book because it simply doesn’t grab me for reasons I can’t explain. But I’ve also put down a book for too much dialect, which makes it hard to read; too much profanity (as in multiple ones in a few pages), because it signals a taste level I’m not going to like; and anything that happens to annoy me. Reading is always very personal.
I ran across this book purely by accident, but it talked about data analytics (what I do at work), so I got it. I was hooked by the chapter on keywords. I’m terrible at keywords, so I was trying out something new to see what results will be.
