Maureen Johnson: A LITTLE TEASER FROM THE MADNESS... →
maureenjohnsonbooks:
Here is a SMALL PIECE of The Madness Underneath. It takes place in the Wexford library. More than that, I will not say.
The book comes out on February 26th. NOT LONG NOW. If you want the pre-order with the signed book and the stickers, order now! Or soon! Here is where you can get the special…

Different Kinds of Readers.
The Devourer: Each book is a snack for this kind of reader--but it doesn't mean that s/he won't enjoy each book just as much.
The Lover: Books read by this kind of reader are read in hidden, stolen moments at the most unexpected times.
The Slow Dancer: Books are a treat that this kind of reader savors. Slow and steady wins this reader's race, as his/her eyes take in and taste each and every word.
The Addict: Books are a conquest to this kind of reader. S/he will buy more books than s/he can read, but s/he will ALWAYS have something to read.
The Classic: Books of the past are a gift to this reader. Prose in the style of early contemporary authors, or stories written long ago, are favorites for this reader.
The Die-Hard: Genres are a way of life for this reader. S/he finds a niche and sticks to it--veering from what s/he knows for short bursts of time.
The Book Breather: Finest hours are spent exploring bookstores and libraries. The number of books owned has no bearing on the number of books sought. "Nose in a book" aptly defines this reader. S/he lives and breathes the written word.
The Advocate: This reader is a lover of books. S/he is not just a reader, but an advocate of reading--hoping that the future will contain more readers.
What kind of reader are you? Add on if you wish!
I'm back! Volví!
Desde el 1 de Diciembre del año que recién acabó, hasta hoy, la idea de volver a utilizar Tumblr me atacó hasta que porfin hace una hora decidí escribir algo y dejarlo acá para mi satisfacción personal y por si todavía queda alguien por estos rumbos aún, lo lea. O no. No es que lo llenara de contenido trascendental, pero era mi esquina de expresión y ya estaba muy descuidada.[[MORE]]
