I was recently invited to a Twitter Community for lovers of Books. Currently, there are about 1,000 of us in this community. Twitter states that "Twitter Communities were created to give people a dedicated place to connect, share, and get closer to the discussions they care about most." But is being in a Book Community as good as it sounds? Pin me to Pinterest!

It was a tweet that received so many responses that I wanted to share as part of an article to not only give you all some options of books to read to guarantee a good twist but also provide my audience with some genuinely great content. That article turned out to be…

I love Twitter for this blog. It's a fantastic platform that, out of all of the social media channels, offers up the most real and genuine interaction between me and my followers.
