Tuesday Book Chat | 4 December 2018 | Iola Goulton

From Iola Goulton @iolagoulton

It's Iola here. Welcome to our ACW Tuesday Book Chat where we encourage book lovers to answer our bookish question of the week.

Today's question is: 

Hmm ... tough question. So many books. I want all the books. And I tend to buy them when they are released or on sale or when they catch my attention through the year, so I don't exactly have a Christmas wish list. Just a general wish list (and a wish that I could stop adulting long enough to read them all).

Today's question is: 

How many books have you read this year? How many do you think you'll read between now and the end of the year? Did you participate in a reading challenge? Will you achieve your reading goal?

Today's question is:

For those of you who are now getting shouty because Who On Earth has started thinking about Christmas shopping in the first week of November ... I didn't set the question. And we have to start sometime.

Anyway, books make good gifts. Or book vouchers.

Do you participate in online reader groups?

I guess (I hope?) you participate in the Australasian Christian Writers Facebook group, although I guess we're more of a writer group than a reader group. I'm also part of several other groups, including Avid Readers of Christian Fiction.

Have you been to an in-store book signing?

I have to say I haven't, although that's mostly because I've never seen an in-store signing from an author I like that's close enough to attend. I do have some autographed books. Maybe we'll talk about those another time.

Do you share book recommendations on social media?

I'm a book reviewer, and I share my reviews, book quotes, and other bookish posts on social media. I also share reviews by other people of books I've enjoyed, or books I want to read.

Do you read books recommended by friends?

I do—even though I have more than enough books on my to-read pile already. But if a friend recommends a title, it's hard to say no.

Do you read seasonal-themed books?

I have to say I mostly don't ... because most of the seasons are out of sync with us Down Under! That's one reason I enjoyed the Aussie Summer Christmas novellas so much—they were set in summer.

Let's chat. Have you met any favourite authors in person?

My first major fan girl moment took place a decade ago. In July 2008 the lovely Debbie Macomber invited all the Australian and New Zealand conference attendees at the Romance Writers of America conference in San Francisco to a special breakfast. My Aussie writing friend Enisa Haines and I were thrilled to meet Debbie. This year Debbie is the keynote speaker at the ACFW Conference in September.

Do you read books as soon as you receive them?

This is a question I'm pondering today because my new novella, Solo Tu, is releasing today on Amazon Kindle. 

Let's Chat. Do you eagerly await the arrival of new books - via an electronic deposit in your reading device or a parcel in the mail or an in-store print book purchase?
