Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge: Books I Discovered on Social Media

 

The Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge is hosted by Long and Short Reviews. They offer this blog hop as a weekly prompt to help you gain new friends and visitors. You don't have to participate every week, but if you decide to post and join the blog hop for a week, Long and Short Reviews asks that you share your link on their weekly post on their website (it will be the top post on the home page each Wednesday morning). The link list remains open for new links for 48 hours. Visit the other bloggers participating to see what they are talking about that week. Comments are appreciated. 

When I first saw this topic, I thought I would have nothing to share. Then I realized, I have found books on social media--usually on Facebook or Instagram--and even read them. 

Saw this book by Melissa Francis on Instagram, so I ordered it in 2012. Still haven't read it yet. Her other book, Lessons from the Prairie, was amazing. I'm sure this one will be as well. 

This author's social media campaign had to be one of the most aggressive I had seen at the time. I saw ads on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter/X. Ended up joining his virtual book tour to read it.

Wendi and I were already Facebook friends when she asked for people to join her book launch team. This was a fabulous experience. We had Zoom meetings to discuss chapters, and I got a chance to meet her mother in person when I attended the Connecticut Little House on the Prairie 50th Cast Reunion last August. Wendi and I had already met in Walnut Grove, Minnesota in 2014.
