How come my book’s not on your wishlist? How come you haven’t bought mine? What can I do to be moved up the order?

Your book may not be on my wishlist because I’ve already read it, or don’t know of its existence, or maybe it’s not my cuppa tea. You can always ask.

What I buy is mainly all about availability. If I can get it from the library (which has a limited collection), I probably won’t buy it. I buy what eBay has at a reasonable price. I’ve impulse-shopped. And rarely I’ve ordered stuff. But at the end of the day, it’s all about what I can afford. And I’ve spent so much that I might have to sell the stuff I own and have read soon And there’s so much more to buy when they’re released…

To be moved up the order…as I said, gifts come first

You’ve done your bit to promote authors by mentioning them, interviewing them, writing about their book or having them guest-blog. How are people promoting you?

Well, I don’t have anything to spruik (except for these blogs, I guess), so I don’t expect anything. Still, I’d be happy to guest blog or be interviewed or whatnot. Just contact me at TezMillerOz at gmail dot com if you’re interested.

I believe this post counts as interviewing yourself. That’s lame, Tez. It must be past your bedtime.

Well, time to get in bed and continue reading books. Have a lovely day!
