The Inheritance Books post the ladies did suggested that their writing voice was quick and fun. I have a theory that if I like someone’s ‘voice’ in real life, I’ll probably like their books. I came across Morgan O’Neill when Deb and Cary did a joint Inheritance Books post for me. I haven’t set myself a firm goal of reading 52 books in a year, but that’s roughly what I’m aiming for. After I’d finished my box of books and submitted my scores, I decided that I really should read more and read more widely. I read as part of my market research and learning process, so I read a lot of what’s published by my publisher (my first customer, in effect) and what’s coming out in my chosen genre of romantic comedy (see what everyone else is up to). It made me realise that I’ve fallen into the trap of needing my reading to serve an extra purpose than just entertainment (I seem to need everything to do at least two things at once, these days). These were all from sub genres that I wouldn’t normally read, so it was quite an interesting exercise for me. A few weeks ago, I had to read some books as part of first round judging for a competition.
