A Bookworm in My Past Life

Nowadays, I hardly have the time to read a book. I'm only able to pick up a book when I'm waiting for the kids to get out of school. I've had this paperback in my car for almost half a year now and I haven't even read through half of it! Gone were the days when I can finish a thick hard cover book in a couple of days. I was a huge Robert Ludlum fan, that was before his Bourne series were made into movies. I've read all his novels, yes, even the mediocre ones like the Road to Gandolfo. I enjoyed thrillers and mysteries, throw in a couple of horror into that mix too. I should go back into reading. I've been wanting to get myself a Kindle. I've tried audio books but it's not the same for me. I want to read it myself and not hear someone read it for me. I've been browsing Amazon.com and their Amazon books that are used are very cheap. I've ordered a handful from their retailers and I've been satisfied so far.

The Books I Love

I used to be a voracious reader when I was younger. The first novel I read was 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne. After that, I was hooked. I read any book I can get my hands on. I even read both Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo by Jose Rizal. I've come to love thrillers and was an avid Robert Ludlum and Ken Follett fan. I have my cousins to thank for that since I was vacationing in my mom's hometown and they introduced me to these books. There are a lot of book sellers online but I want to find a site that has better prices than Amazon books. I want to save money since everything is so expensive now.

Publish Your Own Book

I read this article in the magazine about famous authors and how they started and got their break in the literary world. They said that it takes a lot of work and rejections from major book publishing company considering there are a lot of competition out there. Writers have to complete with other writers to get the attention of the editors in order to get published. Some authors did it another way, they published their own books and got the attention of the editors. One self-publishing company is AuthorHouse. If you are planning to publish a Christian book and are looking for Christian Publishers , you must consider AuthorHouse. Since almost 98 percent of book manuscripts submitted to traditional Christian publishers are rejected, you should have your book published by AuthorHouse. They will help you and guide you through the process of publishing a book. www.authorhouse.com
