I found this book on the Lemuria Bookstore
list of books for Mother's Day. My mother-in-law
loves to read, and I am always looking for
a new book for her. When I saw Caroline's
new book it jumped out at me and I bought
a copy for her.
Since then, I have been eyeballing it at the bookstore.
You know Borders Bookstore is going out of business, everywhere.
As an author, that's a big ouch...they had this book 10% off .
I know it's not much,
but I'd been wanting it and my oldest
daughter looked at me and said, "Mom, just get it,
they aren't gonna have it by the time it's marked
down anymore."
This is what I do when I get a new book:
I browse the cover, front and book
read the inside jacket, about the book
read about the author
read the acknowledgments
look to see if they have a facebook
look for a interview/trailer
read reviews
I know, some of it might be
backwards, but it helps me get on a deeper level
with the author and gain so much insight before hand!
Here's an interview of
She Walks in Beauty: A Woman's Journey Through Poems

What do you do when you get a book or before you get one?
Do you like poems?
