Anyway, it is fun because I get to follow some of my favorite authors and see what is going on in their life. For instance, Ally Carter is currently weighing the pros and cons of building a pool. Will she build one? Most likely.
Then, there is of course the matter of followers. It's strange to say the least. It's not quite like having friends on Facebook. These people on Twitter follow you because they want to see what you have to say about your dog eating rat poison, or your book case suddenly dying and you have to find a safe refuge for your books.
It goes to show that while we may think our lives are boring, people enjoy hearing the small things. When I read about a published author having problems that seem similar to me it makes me realize that they are indeed human just like myself.
In the spirit of Twitter, I looked today to see that I had a following request from what I believed was Laini Taylor. I was rather excited. To think that Laini Taylor wanted to follow me!!! Then I realized it was the twitter for the official release of her book. Not quite as cool as Ms. Taylor herself, but hey, still pretty cool.
Onto other news, I discovered this morning that I enjoy walking on my treadmill as long as I have a book in my hands! That book happens to be my NOOK! And boy am I happy! All for now!
