We're looking at doing more promo connected to ACW on Twitter. You will be missing out if you blog with us and don't have a Twitter account set up.

Even if you aren't active and only occasionally check your account, you'll still be able to catch up on the mentions from other Twitter users in your notifications.

I also follow back most authors and retweet other's people's content. It's nice when peeps return the favour :) but good to connect regardless.Jeanette O'Haganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11057798704247611224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-18194287869113208712016-10-17T11:36:44.713+11:002016-10-17T11:36:44.713+11:00Jenny, that's a great start.

I like Twitter - it suits my "learning" traits by enabling me to access & share new information including book reviews. I haven't been as good in recent times tweeting books I've read so thank you for giving me a gentle nudge to start doing it again.<br /><br />Bless,Ian Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00192687613923596829noreply@blogger.com
