Today’s prompt is an interesting one: Books I’ve discovered on Social media.
I follow many authors on Social Media through Twitter, Book Bub and their facebook pages, so I’ve gotten a ton of new authors to read because of my media engagement ( or maybe it’s an obsession!) These are my two favorites:
I found LAUREN LAYNE on Instagram one day as I was scrolling through my feed, bought the book she was spotlighting, TO HAVE AND HOLD
and then bought her entire back list. She is now a one-click for me for every preorder!
I discovered CATHERINE BYBEE at a conference about, of all things, TWITTER For Authors!!! I loved everything she had to say about author engagement on SM and then she, too, became a one click author for me after reading WIFE BY WEDNESDAY
Let’s see if any of the other authors in this blog challenge have found some new favs: L&SR
And speaking of social media engagement, you can follow me here and decide if I become one of your one-click authors!!!

And I can’t forget the OKRWA 2018 Award video

I still don’t have an instagram account, but I’ve heard a lot of authors using it now. I might discover some new ones.

I love instagram and not only for the great marketing you can do on it! It’s fun to look through everyone’s pictures of their daily life.

I have an instagram account, but don’t use it much… my kids do, though. I need to check it back out again. I love “meeting” new authors on social media! My post is here: https://jhthomas.blogspot.com/2019/04/wednesday-weekly-blogging-challenge_24.html

I have a personal instagram account, but should definitely look into an author one. I’ve read Catherine Bybee, but not Lauren Layne. I’ll check her out! I’m here today: http://www.mariannearkins.com/wednesday-weekly-blogging-challenge-books-i-discovered-on-social-media/

Lydia – it happened at an RWA conference during a PAN session. Catherine was the featured speaker and instructor on how to use Twitter as an author. Very cool

Want to hear a funny? I discovered you via Twitter back in 2015. I think it was Skater’s Waltz. Someone wrote a review that I liked. I’ve discovered a ton of authors and their books on Instagram. It’s so great and I get tons more interactions via IG than I ever do via Twitter. *waves to Peg*

I like using instagram, but I wish I could do it more from my laptop so i could access my book covers better. Good list!

Hey Wendi, do you have Windows 10? If you do, you can download the Instagram app directly to your laptop and use it there. That’s what I do. I don’t have a smartphone. lol! – Mrs. N
