I'd love to see a greater use of social media to promote books by authors like Tim Tingle. We're to start discussing his book today. I'll hold off on saying anything about it until the parameters of the discussion are laid out, but want to suggest actions of the sort that Sarah asked for.
Go to your local bookstore. If they don't have Tingle's HOW I BECAME A GHOST, ask them to order a copy. Do the same at your local library. I don't know how many subscribers there are on the CCBC list, but if each one of us did that, and perhaps asked a colleague who is not on it, to make those two requests (bookstore and library), that'd be a step in the right direction.
When I saw that Tingle's book, and Gansworth's book, would be topics of discussion, I tweeted that information and provided a link to the CCBC site.
