Sunday, November 25th Meeting

Keeping minutes seems like a thing of the past. It is more important to get other members to post instead of just those who take minutes at the meetings. One thing that was discussed today was the importance of supporting one another's published works. A great many of us turned out to support our published authors this past week at BookLore's Author Appreciation Days. We also purchased their books. Now it's up to us to read those books and review them. Yes, we want you to post book reviews for your fellow Headwaters Writers' Guild members' books.

I have already read and posted a review of Jayne E. Self's Death of a Highland Heavyweight. You can read that review here:  http://bookstove.com/book-talk/book-review-death-of-a-highland-heavyweight/

I would also like to share some reviews of books I find worthy of sharing. I read and reviewed these books this summer.

What I feel was the best book this summer: Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend - http://bookstove.com/book-talk/book-review-memoirs-of-an-imaginary-friend-3/

The book The Discovery is about a writer who finds the manuscript his father wrote years before but never published. http://mary-patricia-bird.quazen.com/shopping/book-review-the-discovery/

And another awesome book by Lisa Genova: Love Anthony. Her first book Just Alice has received rave reviews. http://healthmad.com/mental-health/book-review-love-anthony/

And finally, Blackberry Winter by Sarah Jio. http://bookstove.com/romance/book-review-blackberry-winter/

I read and reviewed other books but these are the most noteable. Please check them out. When I get around to reading the books of my fellow authors I will write reviews of their books too. But I mustn't be the only one. The Headwaters Writers' Guild is about supporting, encouraging, assisting and motivating one another.

Remember, SUPPORT A WRITER, read their books and write reviews. That's the best thing you can do for them. Post your reviews here. This page gets seen by more than just HWG members. So support all authors and spread the news of their books.
