Quick request = vlog as your reward + meet LMTYAS's new mascot!



This is Killer, LMTYAS's new mascot. Killer is wearing a mask
here because he's trying to be like Rowan from If I Speak True.
(Even though the mask isn't exactly spot-on, I'd say he's kinda...
 kill-ing it. Wouldn't you? Ha. Ha ha ha.) Killer's here today to
implore you to help me out, because he really wants me to
embarrass myself on a vlog. I'm kinda annoyed about that.


Hey guys! I have a quick request. I'm wanting to share IF I SPEAK TRUE's 99 cent sale price with a website that shares ebook sales in their newsletter (ya know, because OPEN THY HEART comes out Monday and you kinda need to read IIST first, or *spoilers*), but in order to be approved, I have to have at least ten reviews on Amazon (or B&N). 

Thing is, I have MORE reviews than that on Goodreads, but Goodreads doesn't count! *sad face* 

 So... 

For those of you who:

HAVE read it and already posted a review it on Goodreads: Would you take a moment perty please share it at Amazon (or B&N), too??? 

Have NOT read it but feel inspired to check it out while it's 99 cents (choose the site of your choice over there on the sidebar -->): and want to review it out of the kindness of your hearts, would you do the same? 

 I would really, really appreciate it.

In order to make this worth your while, and to say that I owe you my life  appreciate you,  I thought I'd thank you by doing a little vlog. (I've only done one in five years and it was for a few seconds and only on my FB page and yeah--have fun trying to find it hahahaha--wait, no come back here, don't search for it I beg of you.)

 So... Here's the deal. 

 If I reach ELEVEN total reviews on Amazon (or Barnes and Noble)--that's six more than I have now--I'll do the vlog AND give something away via Rafflecopter. (Hint: it's an annotated paperback, and starts with BY.)

 If I reach TWENTY reviews on Amazon (or Barnes and Noble), I'll do the vlog, give away the secret paperback, AND Killer will give away a Red Riding Hood DVD (because he thinks he's a killer like the wolf and we're just going to let him live a state of denial, okay?).

 And, if for some crazy reason, more than THIRTY reviews (total) end up on either Barnes and Noble or Amazon, I'll do the vlog, the annotated something-or-other paperback, Killer will give away Red Riding Hood (ruff), AND I'll give away a $10 Amazon e-gift card. 

 YAY!

 And remember, you don't have to sugar-coat your review; just be honest and say what you think. :)

 Thanks for taking the time to read this, everyone! (I'd say please don't make me embarrass myself, but I sort of need you to.)

 Be blessed!


P.S. OPEN THY HEART comes out MONDAY. *squee*

P. S. S. If you want to know what happens after IF I SPEAK TRUE and BY SUN & CANDLELIGHT, you can pre-order OPEN THY HEART HERE.

P. S. S. S. I just realized I'm doing it wrong; it's supposed to be P. P. P. S.

P. P. P. P. S. This vlog thing is already freaking me out.

 P. P. P. P. P. S. Killer says that if you email him at coffeelvnmom (at) gmail (dot) com, directing him to your review, he'll send you a signed Flora bookmark. 

 P. P. P. P. P. P. S. Forgot to enter a deadline: let's say this vlog/giveaway offer ends September 26th, at 11:59 p.m. PST.

Lots o' links on how to support your favorite authors

You know that feeling you get as you read the last few words of a favorite book... that feeling where your brain is still absorbing what you've just read, but you already know you want to shout from the rooftops (or yell across the interwebs) that everyone needs to read it right now?

Or maybe you know of a certain author who writes pretty good stuff, but you've never really been sure about how to tell other people about it.

Either way, you will never have to deal with a how-on-earth-to-I-tell-people-about-this-book problem ever again, because I have the solutions below!

See, I thought about writing my own post on how to review and/or rate books online, but then I realized that the internet is already full of helpful posts about spreading author/book love around and figured, why not share those? The best book recommendations I've ever received were the ones that made me jealous to have the same great reading experience as the person who told me about it.

And... viola! Here are a smidgeon of the many helpful posts I've come across, all in one place for future reference. :)
