Comments are not a big thing on my blog, but when I ask some blog readers via email, what they are reading, the responses keep coming. Email communication is fine with me, as long as I get some feedback.
So here's what a few blog readers wrote in response to my question, "Are you reading anything exciting lately?"(Because I'm not..)
Betsy S. from Philadelphia has reviewed books on this blog and I can always rely on her for a timely on target suggestion...and she didn't disappoint.
I had never heard of When Women Were Birds, so I'll focus on that. After doing some research and checking reviews, it sounds like a very unusual book.
A gift of her mother's journals that were blank was the catalyst that inspired Terry Tempest Williams to write this very powerful piece. Reviewers said it's not a memoir..it's not fiction but it's timely in that it also reflects the political climate affecting women today. See what you think..Betsy S. highly recommends it.
You can click on the Amazon Search Box in the sidebar for more information on the books mentioned above.
Unfortunately, comments on the blogs are not easy to get because it takes two, three steps to actually publish a comment and most visitors are not ready to take them.

Almost all experts agree that everything beyond "one step" rule kills the desire of majority to take certain action, especially if that action does not benefit the person in direct and immediate way.
In the case of bloggers increase in number of comments is directly tied to the number of people following the blog and/or people attracted from other social media.
Thankyou for your comment!! Yes, you're right..it's not that simple to leave a comment but I appreciate that you took the time to explain. I have seen your blog and it's so well done and professional. I am happy to be a follower!
