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.

Let's chat. Which lesser known Christian author do you wish more readers knew about?

I'll start the conversation by saying I think there are dozens of local authors in our part of the world who are yet to be discovered by local and international readers.

Rose Dee and Andrea Grigg write amazing contemporary romances. Amanda Deed writes fabulous historical romances. Meredith Resce is a talented author who writes in multiple genres. Mary Hawkins has published both historical and contemporary romances over the last few decades. Jeanette O'Hagan has a new fantasy ebook releasing at the end of October.

Kara Isaac is an international award winning author of contemporary romantic comedies. Carolyn Miller now has nine lovely regency romance novels either listed for sale or on pre-order at Amazon. We have two debut Aussie authors, David Rawlings and Jessica Kate, who have multi-book contracts with a large US publisher and debut books releasing in 2019.

My list could go on and on. Who is on your list?

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.
