Kindle Ninja Review: RAVE REVIEWS BOOK CLUB Edition #5 Bring Me Sunshine

By ChaoticNinja







Bring Me Sunshine by Wendy Storer (@WendyStorer) is a must read. It's heart-wrenching. It's a reality that's usually unnoticed or even ignored. Wendy evokes a keen sense of sadness and yet uplifts you in the most profound way.


This is the last book review for the month of April.

Welcome to Episode 7 of  Conversations over Milk & Cookies  hosted by Kindle Ninja. What is this madness, you ask?  It's my way of supporting authors and writers from the  RAVE REVIEWS BOOK CLUB . For the entire month of April, I will be featuring the fine women and men that make up the Board of RRBC.  We interact with them everyday, directly through tweets, or indirectly through re-tweets, but we don't really know much about them. Their personalities really don't shine through in tweets and re-tweets. In Episode 1,   We see the silly side of  RRBC Secretary MARLENA HAND   ( @mlh42812 ).   In Episode 2,   RRBC Spotlight and Incentives Coordinator  TERI GARRINGER  ( @TeriGarringer ) bares her funny side in 26 Questions. In Episode 3 ,   RRBC Membership Director  KATHRYN TREAT  ( @KathrynCTreat )   lets her hair down and plays the game of 24 Questions. In Episode 4...

The Trouble with the BLURB

By ChaoticNinja

A blurb is a short summary or promotional piece accompanying a creative work. The word was coined in 1907 by American humorist Gelett Burgess (1866–1951).  -Wikipedia The trouble with the blurb is that it tends to overpromise (and the book to underdeliver). We cannot fault the author or the blurb writer entirely because the nature of the blurb is to persuade us (readers) to purchase the book. It will overpromise at some point. After all, it is a sales pitch hiding under the guise of a cleverly written synopsis. It’s a tricky little thing to write because it wants to reveal things without revealing things (see, it really is tricky!). And that part it doesn’t reveal is the proverbial hook that magically transforms ‘window shoppers’ into actual buyers.   An effective blurb reels you in with the book’s perceived (preliminary) brilliance in 200 words or less. It thrills. It provokes. It intrigues.  But there’s also this tiny bit ...
