Romance
I've
been monitoring all three of the links for the Romance genre. One thing
that I've really been exploring is the romance subgenres. I knew about a
few of them such as historical, erotic, and paranormal, but I've
also come to learn about hockey/sports romances, small town, time travel
and inspirational. It's been interesting to learn how the settings,
plots and characters can very so much within Romances. Reading book
excerpts reviews, as well as author interviews,
has been very informative in expanding my knowledge of the Romance genre
and its subgenres.
Early Word
Early Word is a site that I haven't used much in the past, but I plan to start visiting every couple of days simply because of the sheer information it gives you about books and authors. In particular, the monthly twitter discussions about galleys and the vast amount of news given for collection development and readers advisory were particularly useful. I also love the different lists that they've compiled for website visitors to explore: Coming Soon, Awards, Best Book Spreadsheets and Movies and TV shows based on books.

Amazon Best Books of July 2015: Bull Mountain
Bull Mountain is a multi-generational family saga with a sweeping storyline. It has an atmospheric and violent tone that focuses on the landscape and culture of rural Appalachia and a brotherly battle of good and evil . It is similar to books like Above the Waterfall, The Wapshot Chronicle and The Children's Crusade in that they are all family sagas that strongly evoke the setting to set the mood for the story.
Bull Mountain would appeal to fans of adult fiction authors and books that use atmospheric and violent tones. Two authors who fit this bill are Ron Rash and Patrick deWitt.
