The classic magazine and book holder (FOR SALE) for those who enjoy reading in their over-sized chair! I remember these. This was before the eBook when one turned the crisp pages of a novel late in the evening while enjoying a warm tea or a smoky pipe. Too lazy to get up and walk to the bookcase when finished? Just drop your book into the holder that sat next to the chair on the floor… or just fall asleep with your book on your belly!

As you know, we are several weeks into the New Year, 2013. 12/21/12 turned out to be a dud. The Fiscal Cliff hasn’t shown its horns… not yet anyway. The overall feeling seems to be that we are wading through these tough times (economically, socially, etc.). So here we are. Now what?

For BookBarista, we will continue to do what we do – remain a FREE website for authors, book sellers, writing related service providers, and eReader sellers to come and post their ads. Its a simple formula that works. BookBarista doesn’t need flash, drama, or rumors. Think of us as that little back country store where everything that happens is damn predictable. Customers post ads and visitors peruse those ads. In the end it is our hope that visitors will follow the links the posters provided and a sale is made.

BookBarista isn’t a monster corporation trying to take over the publishing industry, let alone the book advertising world. We are here. That’s enough for us. So please come in and post an ad. What do you have to lose besides a few minutes of your time. It could be time well-spent if you’re serious about marketing your work. So put your back into it and get noticed. We can help!

Happy New Year!

Wishing all the dedicated BookBarista.com users a very Merry Christmas! May peace and kindness occupy your life. It’s really a great time to reflect on ourselves and our relationships as opposed to work. Thanks for everything. Keep the faith!

Potential customers won’t show interest in your book if you can’t place a working link into your own ad. Take the time to do it right.

Thanks for your patronage!

Why does BookBarista.com exist?

I wanted to create a place where people who write, collect, or sell books (and book related products) could show off their stuff and shop too. The site is for book folk. Book folk tend to be very bright whether you agree with their stance on particular positions or not. It is the writers and the readers of the world who make the world explode with new ideas.

It’s really that simple.

According to Wikipedia a book review is a form of literary criticism in which a book is analyzed based on content, style, and merit.[1] A book review could be a primary source opinion piece, summary review or scholarly review.[2] It is often carried out in periodicals, as school work, or on the internet. Reviews are also often published in magazines and newspapers. Its length may vary from a single paragraph to a substantial essay. Such a review often contains evaluations of the book on the basis of personal taste. Reviewers, in literary periodicals, often use the occasion of a book review for a display of learning or to promulgate their own ideas on the topic of a fiction or non-fiction work. At the other end of the spectrum, some book reviews resemble simple plot summaries.

Why is it important? Bottom line, book reviews help sell books. Not many folks want to buy a book if it has no reviews. Reviews equate to sales, meaning other folks were interested enough to lay down cash for it. Therefore it might be interesting enough for you to lay down some cash as well. That’s where the book review comes in and helps set the tone for your spending choice.

Get your book reviewed.

We got authors from far and wide using BookBarista! Have you read, Пятый Корпус by Eugene Shrayman?

Description: The action of this fascinating political thriller unfolds on the backdrop of an environmental disaster threatening the life of the capital of the Eastern European states. Thereafter, Prosecution office investigator Julia Lavrentsova received an audiotape with evidence of the leader of the country being indirectly guilty of the tragedy. Sacrificing personal happiness and career, the young woman decides to open challenges and secrets against the all-powerful system.

Действие этого увлекательного политического триллера разворачивается на фоне экологической катастрофы, угрожающей существованию столицы восточноевропейского государства. Пожертвовав личным счастьем и карьерой, молодая женщина решается на открытый вызов всесильной Системе. Юлия прекрасно понимает, что в обличии коррумпированного премьера она встретила противника, который, если надо, не остановится ни перед чем. Но пути назад у нее уже нет…

Eugene Shrayman has written several other books as well. They can be found at Smashwords.

Check out his books sometime. Russian language thrillers sound pretty awesome!

It’s 2012! Now that the New Year party is winding down have you thought about how you’re going to sell more books this year? You need to sit down, write some goals, how to accomplish those goals, and then set out to do it. You will never sell books if you just rely on hope. Action is what will get you to accomplish your dreams no matter how small or large.

Go get what you want out of life!
