Thank goodness for people who like to gather and organize all this information. Book Report Network is a good clearing house for all kinds of bookish information. Liked the idea that a couple of the sites listed Oprah's current selection. Noticed that Book Reporter had a link to Facebook. Had good reviews. Reading Group Guides provided nice guides for book clubs. Pity the poor authors that have to come up with the questions. Faithful Reader looked like a good source for those who like the inspirational genre. It's sometimes hard to find a good source for that. Authors on the Web besides listing websites, lists blogs and tours by authors. Author Yellow Pages supposedly gives addresses, etc. for authors, but the two I looked were "approachable" only through their publishers. Probably a really good idea. All of the sites had good points, but I think the I'd probably use Book Reporter, Faithful Reader, and Authors on the Web the most. BTW, loved the Kids' Reads particularly for the list of books in series.
Looked up Janet Evanovich on Biography Resource Center. Discovered she studied art in college, not writing. She married (and is still married) to her high school sweetheart and has two children. This sounds suspiciously like me. (Okay, I didn't study art in college, but I did study music--close--and I did marry my high school sweetheart, and I do have two kids, and I write.) And she's older than I am. There's hope yet.
