Dear Author: Romance Book Reviews, Author Interviews, and Commentary

What’s this you say? I read quite a few blogs outside the romance blogosphere and many of the big ones have a daily open thread where the commenters drive the bus. I thought we would test out an open thread here at Dear Author. We are going to start with two a month. On the first Sunday of every month, there will be an Author Promo Night Open Thread. On the first Monday of the month, there will be a Reader Open Thread. Both threads will be linked to on the front of the site.

No self published authors unless you write romance. No, I am not a POD hater, I am just thinking about the manageability of the thread.
Think about the readership. I.e., does your non fiction book about psoriasis really fit?

This is the Open Thread for Readers to post about books that they are interested in reading this month, are looking forward to next month, have in their ever looming TBR piles and so forth. Anything that you want to post about, go forth and post.

If you are looking for some author recommendations, take a look at the Sunday Night Open Thread for Authors.
