A wonderful social-media gathering of book lovers. Over the last year, Goodreads has lead me to new writers, passed-over classics and insightful reviews of some of my favorite works. I also love getting a chance to listen in on conversations about my own books on Goodreads. http://www.owenegerton.com/?p=219 It's the last week of voting for the Austin Chronicle's Best of Austin Poll. I'm hoping you'll consider me when you get to the Best Author spot. Now, Austin is silly-blessed with great writers. The city is sick with talent! So you're off the hook if you vote for someone else... ... http://www.owenegerton.com/?p=218 I'll be reading in the Quickies Reading Series Tuesday, July 13 at 7:30.
