http://amyonlove.blogspot.com/2008/03/out-and-about.html

Amy Appleton On Love. An author's thoughts on romance, heartbreak and the wonderful world of dating. Monday, 24 March 2008. The Bride Hunter is officially out, a debutante all dressed up in pink, ready to have her card marked or to sit on the sidelines like a wallflower. I'm hoping it'll be the former, of course. On Friday night, I went to Wahaca. It also gave me a chance to check out the competition. I bought one of the books, Vintage. So - which genres do you like? 24 March 2008 at 12:44. I love commer...

The Amateur Book Blogger: Monday news: 85th post and time for Reflection

http://amateurbookblogger.blogspot.com/2008/12/monday-news-85th-post-and-time-for.html

Monday, December 29, 2008. Monday news: 85th post and time for Reflection. As the book quiz result. Told me, "All you wanted was a nice cup of tea when some haggard crazy old man came into your life and told you it was time to do something with yourself. Now you’re all conflicted about whether to stick with your stay-at-home lifestyle or follow this crazy person into the wild." So I'm off into the wild. Still plenty of great reading over at The View From Here. What's going to happen in publishing in 2009?

Amy Appleton On Love. An author's thoughts on romance, heartbreak and the wonderful world of dating. Friday, 11 April 2008. Two sightings in two days. So, the strange post-publication limbo continues. Have stopped going into the shops after not being able to find Bride Hunter in two branches of WH Smith – after seeing copies of everyone else’s books in there. ah well…. Or a huge grin).

The Amateur Book Blogger: Thursday thought: Book Reading on Decline in Germany

http://amateurbookblogger.blogspot.com/2008/12/wildcard-wednesday-book-reading-on.html

Thursday, December 4, 2008. Thursday thought: Book Reading on Decline in Germany. Youth and adults alike are reading less, reported the study by the Stiftung Lesen. In Germany today. It is the third such study, carried out by researchers since 1992, of the reading habits of more than 2,500 people over 14 years of age. The number of books per household has also fallen. What is interesting to me, was the stronger emphasis in non-German native households on reading. Thirty-six percent read a book once o...

Amy Appleton On Love. An author's thoughts on romance, heartbreak and the wonderful world of dating. Monday, 31 March 2008. Coffee and Chick Lit to go, please. Ooh, my first international blog comment, from Emma, who obviously has impeccable taste (I hope you’ll forgive me repeating it, as she’s commented on a previous post. Still hoping it might make it into some other languages…in French, might it be Le Chasseur des Mariees? In Italian, perhaps Il Cacciatore di Sposa? I've read the first few chapters n...
