This week I am starting a new series on the blog entitled “Somebody Spotlight” to show appreciation for all of you who read the blog and are particularly subscribed via Google Friend Connect. Many of you are doing great things that are certainly noteworthy.
This week the Somebody Spotlight shines on Bookman Beattie. Mr. Beattie has had a very extensive career in the book world as former Publisher and Editor. He now does book reviews, judges book awards as well as blogs.
Here is a little about him from his site Beattie’s Book Blog:
Former leading New Zealand publisher and bookseller, and widely experienced judge of both the Commonwealth Writers Prize and the Montana New Zealand Book Awards, talks about what he is currently reading, what impresses him and what doesn’t, along with chat about the international English language book scene, and links to sites of interest to booklovers.
So if you are a book lover or author his site is a great resource. He gives a great view of the literary life in New Zealand as well as what and who is current worldwide. Please visit his site.
Thanks for reading,
