Bokanmeldelse: Hex Hall av Rachel Hawkins

En veldig underholdende ungdomsroman hvor vi får møte noen tøffe hekser, vampyrer, spøkelser og mange andre skapninger vi ikke ønsker å møte ute en mørk høstkveld.

Hva handler boken om?

Sophie Mercer er en heks, en heks som ikke forstår hvor viktig det er å holde sine evner skjult. Nå har hun gjort sitt siste feiltrinn(en kjærlighetsdrikk som, mildt sagt, slo noe feil ut) og skal overføres til Hecate Hall. Hecate Hall er en kostskole hvor man sender vanskelige tenåringer med spesielle evner. Sophie møter andre hekser, varulver, spøkelser, vampyrer, demoner og andre skapninger på skolen. Først nå innser Sophie hvor lite hun faktisk vet om den verdenen hun tilhører.

Sophies romkkamerat er en av skolens utstøtte, en vampyr. De to finner fort tonen, men så finner Sophie ut at de andre studentene mistenker vampyren for mordet på en medstudent!

Mine tanker om boken?
Hex Hall var en veldig morsom og lettlest bok, helt klart en god debut av forfatter Rachel Hawkins. Vil du ha underholdning så kommer du ikke til å angre på at du lot noen timer forsvinne mens du satt med denne boken i hånden. Jeg kunne knapt legge fra meg boken og var lykkelig da jeg fant ut av at det skulle bli to bøker til i serien(jeg leste denne boken da den nylig var kommet ut , nå er andre bok å få kjøpt og den tredje kommer i mars).

Plottet holdt på oppmerksomheten min gjennom hele boken, verken historien eller menneskene i den kjedet meg. Det eneste jeg ikke likte var at en av mine favoritter forsvant fra fortellingen, men jeg har et lite håp om at vi sees igjen i neste bok.

Omslaget:

Jeg syntes ikke omslaget yter boken rettferdighet. Overfladisk som jeg, helt tydeligvis, er så hadde jeg ikke plukket opp denne boken hadde det ikke vært for alle de gode omtalene jeg leste av den rundt omkring på flere engelsk språklige bokblogger.

Oppsummering:

4 stjerne av 5 mulige.

Contests

Contest question: If you give winners 48/72 (whatever it is) hours to respond, and they don't, should you send a follow-up email telling them they missed out on their chance? If so, what should you say that'll keep it polite?

What if they respond after 48/72 hours, and you haven't yet chosen a new winner (and you were planning on choosing a new one), should you still give them another chance?

And last one: If you don't specify a "respond by" time in the email, and you haven't received a response from the winner after a week or so, can you pick a new winner? Or do they have an indefinite amount of time to reply because you didn't specify? - Riv Re

A: No. If you stated that they have 48/72 hours to respond to the email that is the extent of all you have to do. If you want to make nice and send that email, I would simply state.

"Sorry but your 48 hours have expired. A new winner will be chosen in your place. Please feel free to enter my other contests going on at parajunkee.com right now! Just remember to answer that email!"

Follow your rules if you fee it is necessary. If you stated 48 hours stick to it. If you don't want to go through the hassle though of picking a new winner and emailing them...why not just let your first winner have the book?? It can go either way. If I haven't picked a winner yet, I usually give them the book. But I have had it where they have come back after I've already picked a winner - then you have to say, I'm sorry I've already picked a new winner.

If you didn't name a response time, I would wait a week and then email again. If you haven't heard back after the second email (48 hours) then pick another winner and email AGAIN saying that because you didn't hear back from the first winner a new winner will be picked. This way you've covered all your bases.

In all my reviews, I include the genre of the book (age group like YA is included separately) but I have a hard time separating Urban Fantasy and Paranormal. Any clues? - Anon

A: Urban Fantasy and Paranormal can be the exact same thing. Yet, Paranormal can be a generalized descriptor that can be labeled with a lot of other genres, like Paranormal Romance, Science Fiction, Horror etc. So you can literally label an Urban Fantasy as a Paranormal book also.

What generalizes an Urban Fantasy? An Urban Fantasy is usually a fantasy set in the modern age in an urban setting. It is a sub-genre of the FANTASY genre, it is just it's contemporary counterpart, because most fantasy genre novels take place in alternate historical realities. For example books like Lord of the Rings. It is said that the primary requirement is that the setting must be in a city. Yet, even now they are bending these rules by publishing rural Urban Fantasy novels where the settings are in country, back-water towns, yet these are usually modern novels. I hope this helps!

Where could we find a list of publishers that are supporters of book bloggers and help with ARC requests for reviews.  - Anon

A: I think I might have answered this question in a million different ways. Publisher lists don't come easy, most book bloggers have been amassing contacts and that information is like gold to them, or at least for me. It's like a salesperson's contacts. Do you think a salesperson is just going to post a list of all their contacts on the web somewhere for other sales people to check out? Not very likely. UNLESS you find a really really nice book blogger that posted their own list...I really doubt they have something like this out there.

But, to explain more most publishers are very open in their support of book  blogs. Turn over any ARC and check out their Marketing list - it usually says Book Blog Tour as one of their bullet points.

Suggestion: Put in some time and do this yourself, it's not easy and it takes time so start researching publishers and begin stalking their web sites. There is always a Contact Us section which will have an email that you can request ARCs through. There you go, this will be your first contact email.

What is the best way to advertise your blog? Simple question but I'm a newbie book blogger so any tips would help!  - Meg @ A Bookish Affair

A: Here are a few suggestions:

1. Sign up for book blogging forums, like Ning sites and directories
2. Comment on other blogs like yours and introduce yourself, always leave your URL
3. Comment on author's sites with meaningful comments and leave your URL
4. Get on twitter and start making friends. Start by following other book bloggers and strike up conversations with them, soon you'll have a following and then you can carry on meaningful twitter conversations and tweet out your reviews
5. Get on facebook and friend all your book bloggers that are like you
6. Network, network, network

Book blogger jealousy! YEA I'm are jealous! You big follower book bloggers wave your ARCS around in our faces. Of course I"M jealous. They never want to send ARCS to me. The only way I can get one is by winning one. I don't think publishers should count followers for who they send ARCS too, they should send it to the REAL fans. Not the people that just get them cause they are the IN book. Why do authors look at followers? That shouldn't count at all. - Anonymous

A:I'm sorry you are feeling the Book Blogger Envy. But, I'm kinda of feeling a bit grumpy about the waving books in your face remark. I'm sorry you feel that way, but just because I'm showing off my pretty book doesn't mean I'm rubbing it in your face. If I pulled up in a new car -- but you had an old car, would you consider that rubbing it in your face? Because, I don't mean it that way, I'm just excited about my new shiny book and if I show my husband he goes "Whatever." If I show my Book Blogger friends they SQUEE with me. I sooo want people to SQUEE with me. That is not rubbing faces, that is excitement, glee, happiness and joy over a new book. Don't let that green seep into your skin --- makes for an unhappy person. You don't want to be unhappy. No one wants to be unhappy.

Now as for those followers, those people that read the blog that you don't think count. Well, you see I think they do. I think I put a lot of work into my blog. I've been doing this for almost two years. I've seen blogs come and go. Every week I meet at least ten new blogs that just popped up and ten blogs disappear off the radar. Now publishers and publicists and authors, this is their JOB. JOB JOB JOB. Their writing = their paycheck. That book you review, well it could equal increased profitability. If the review is read. They want to look for a blog that will review their book (so first thing they look for is how long the blog has been around) an upstart blog might have more trouble because they haven't established a reputation yet. And then more followers equal a broader platform that they are reaching. Now, granted they don't always go for the highest follower count. 500 dedicated followers is a lot better than 2000 followers that aren't reading your posts...so they also look at comments and things like that to see if you are getting responses. All of this takes time, work and a little elbow grease. Ranting will not get you ARCs - why don't you try netgalley. They might be more accommodating.


That's it folks. Talk Less. Read More. Happy Thursday.

FTC Guidelines and Lost ARCs

How many books do you have as a goal to read in a month and do you meet that goal?  - Christy Morris

I have set a 150 books in a year goal. That breaks down to about 12 books a month. I'm 4 books over in my 150 goal, so yes, I do meet my goal ;)

When I first started blogging I thought that I needed a special invite to participate in Meme's. I didn't understand why everyone was doing IMM besides it is dang exciting to get new books. Then 9 months later I found out that the IMM is one (FUN) way to comply with FTC guidelines.

Could you tell me more about the FTC and what it means for book bloggers.

Do I need to ask permission from the person that started the meme before I use it?

Are there any other meme's that are done for multiple purposes?

Thanks for you help,
Jennifer
My Life With Books

FTC! The FTC's official stance  on bloggers really has to do with endorsements. Basically they want to know what you got in exchange for that review.  Because literally I can pay you $100 to write a good review for me. You might not accept it, but Bertha of the Book Bumblers sure will (she has five kids to feed and three cats!). And if you are accepting money to write a review, technically this isn't a review it is an endorsement. The FTC needs to know these kind of things and so does the American Public. Because if you are taking cash money – well I don't think I trust your word on how much you liked the product. Just like I really don't think Kim Kardashian makes a habit of eating at Carl Jr., but she sure as heck endorses them.

The law breaks down to this sentence, “bloggers who make an endorsement must disclose the material connections they share with the seller of the product or service”. Therefor, you have to share what you got in exchange for your review. A book is considered a payment or exchange of goods. You have to disclose that you received that book in exchange for a review. Or the big bad FTC will slap a fine on your petunia.

Second question: Usually not, bloggers create memes for participation purposes, they usually have a rules post, best to read that first. But the common consensus is usually the more the merrier. But it might not hurt to leave a comment and say you are participating.

Third Question: Yes, Waiting on Wednesday is a good one to send out into the universe what books you want. Sometimes it is seen by the author and they just might send you the book for review. This has happened to me on numerous occasions. I can't think of any other ones – but there are sooo many memes. I'm sure my readers might be able to chime in and help with this one.

I've noticed that some bloggers have their comments numbered. How do they to that? It would make giveaways easier not having to count a large amounts or comments to get to the # that random.org picks.

Thanks for your 101 it's very helpful. - Jennifer @ The Book Nympho

This is the BEST tutorial on how to do it that I've found: http://1stfloorflatcomputery.blogspot.com/2009/11/how-to-number-your-comments.html

I've seen that some blogs have check boxes at the bottom of posts where readers can check 'interesting' etc. How can I add check boxes.

Somewhat along the same lines, how can I add a feature in the comments where I can reply to individual comments and it indents the replies.

Thanks so much! - Jen

Go to your DASHBOARD. Design. And on your BLOG POST gadget click EDIT

There is a section called REACTIONS – click EDIT next to that reactions part. Write in there what you want them to grade you on, (good, great, excellent, etc) separate each one by a comma. Once you are done, put a check mark next to reactions --- and there you go.

I know alot of blogs I visit,,they review books that are sent to  them by publishers. Im not really doing that and really dont care to do that,,I dont want it to feel like a job is it ok to still review a book? or should I just stick with the weekly memes that Ive been doing..?
thanks for your help, Jennifer

Your blog. Do what you want. Jennifer – it is your blog. If you don't want to accept review copies, by all means, don't accept review copies. You can do whatever it is you want! I've seen blogs out there that only review books they get from the library. Your blog. You make the rules. Your readers will decide if they are interested or not. It is still a review, who cares where you got the book from? A lot of my reviews are from books I PURCHASE. Really.

Hey PJ! I have two questions on review books this time:

What's the difference between a galley and an ARC?

And, what do you do if you lose a book you've received for review? (This hasn't happened to me, but I'd like to be prepared, just in case;) ). Do you ask the publisher for another one? Do you try to get hold of another copy by yourself? I would think that getting a copy yourself would make sense, but what would you do about an advanced copy that's hard to get hold of?

Thanks again, PJ! Your meme is so helpful! - Riv Re

Galley vs. ARC. A Galley is a book after it has been typeset but before it has been proofread. These usually go to the editor and the author and any other person involved in proofreading. These are generally not distributed for marketing purposes. Yet, recently galleys have been distributed in such fashion. Galleys will generally come out before an ARC. Most of the time you can tell it is a galley because it will have the file name down at the bottom and you will see the registration mark and crop marks:

Galleys are generally a proofing tool and will most likely have spelling and grammar errors, along with scenes that might be edited out completely. There are usually only a few galleys printed out of a book and a lot of the times it is just a print out of the book from a laser printer or a digital PDF version.

ARCs or AREs are books that are being privately released for Marketing purposes.  ARCs are used to generate buzz before the release date and are the books distributed to choice booksellers and journalist and other authors or celebs for reviews and endorsements. ARCs are a marketing tool - they are not usually used for proofreading, but can differ from the final version of the book. (Hush, Hush had a completely different ending) ARCs usually are printed on a press, but lack a dust jacket or final cover. Some publishers print upwards of 5,000 ARCs for early distribution. Other times ARCs are not in the Marketing plan so very few are printed if any and the publisher can sometimes get you to sign a confidentiality agreement before handing the copy over (Mockingjay), whereas a galley would have to be printed because the book needs to be proofread. I hope this answers your question. And keep in mind each publisher might market books differently and with the inception of book bloggers, Netgalley.com and tools like this, publishers are treating pre-releases differently. Each house writes their own rules and nothing is set in stone. 

Now, if you lose a book? You can ask the publisher for another one. Personally I would be embarrassed to ask for another one, unless the publisher was very insistent on a review. If it was an ARC I would purchase a copy on release and review it then...better late than never. Same thing holds true if it was given to you after release.



Now on to the technical stuff:

How do I add internal links to my site? I want to add a separate link for my review policy and a giveaway section for upcoming giveaways. - Felicia

Hi!

How do you find (or make) those awesome "find me <here>" widgets???  The ones that are the little squares and go to RSS/Twitter/Facebook/Goodreads/whatever...  I have widget envy.

You're the best! - Thinking Cat

Just a picture with a link. Find an icon on the web. There is a great site that offers free icons for download here. And you would just put a link on them. It does require some HTML knowledge, but the bare minimum. You do need to host your icon some where. But, lets say you are using the goodreads icon from the Social Media Icon site (please don't do this though, host it on flickr or picasa etc.):

This is the link for that pic: http://files.softicons.com/download/internet-cons/social-media-icons-by-paul-robert-lloyd/png/24/goodreads.png

Now you would have to wrap it in your link to goodreads, which is this (this is my link):
http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/2680107-parajunkee-com

So the code would look like this:

<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/2680107-parajunkee-com" target="_blank"><img src="http://files.softicons.com/download/internet-cons/social-media-icons-by-paul-robert-lloyd/png/24/goodreads.png" border="0" /></a>

• The <a href= is the opening tag that is telling the browser that this is a link
• the target="_blank" is telling the browser to open it in a new window
• The <img src= is telling the browser that it is going to show an image and the src is saying where that image is coming from.
• Sometimes browsers put a border around linked images, so I always add border="0" to keep that from happening
• The </a> is telling the browser that this is where the link ends.
• Remember in HTML you always have to wrap the  element in " " . If you forget those the code will not work.

Interested in learning more HTML??? There is a 4 hour course on Lynda.com called XHTML & HTML Essential training that I recommend and they offer a Free 7 Day trail.

I highly recommend Lynda.com, I originally learned Dreamweaver (a web design software) from Lynda.com books and then I later learned how to code CSS from a lynda.com online course. I have a yearly lynda.com subscription and use it all the time. Especially for every software upgrade.

When I first saw the mobile template in settings I misunderstood and thought it was if *I* wanted to post from my phone, as oppose to how readers would view it--Now that I understand, it seems so easy!--Are there any reasons people wouldn't want to use it?--Also, does the QR code need to be manually posted to your blog--not having a smart phone, myself, I'm not sure where people find the code to scan it--Does it only appear if they're reading it from their device?

love you as always! - nymfaux

Can't think of any. Maybe they are anti-mobi people?? Or maybe it's just that they already have their site optimized for mobile phones and do not want blogger mucking up their site in their blogger fashion.

You have to go to a QR generator (just search that term in google) and make your own QR code. Download the PNG file and post it to your blog. But -- you do not need a QR code to be viewed as a mobi site. A QR code is just like a barcode, it is a quick way to access the site instead of typing it into your phone's browser.

You would put it on your business card, a book mark or advertisement. Things like that. For easy access. I think you might be confused as to what it is used for. The QR code really has nothing to do with a mobi site - it just gets you there quicker.


That's it folks. Talk Less. Read More. Happy Thusday.

Ask your BB101 Questions here...

Copyright Infringement

What is the point of Book Blogging 101 if we can’t talk about the “touchy” subjects, so today I’m going to talk about copyrights, content stealing and calling out other bloggers for doing such.

First off, let’s go over copyright. Are our blogs copyright protected?

Yes. Our blogs are copyright protected. As soon as you publish and your name goes on it, you are considered the author of that post, therefore the owner of the copyrights for that work. Where the intricacies come into play would be if you had to sue someone for damages, or do a “cease and desist”. You would basically have to prove that YOU DID IT FIRST. And with the timestamp that blogger marks your posts, that shouldn’t be hard.

For some background information, the copyright will actually fall under the copyright law that went into being in 1978. The fixed form. As long as your piece is in a fixed form, upon creation it is considered copyrighted. This basically means, the moment you print it out, post it, or mold it, viola’ – copyrighted. How does this apply to you? The moment you publish, your work is copyrighted.

You can proudly post a notice at the bottom of your blog, or your post that says this post is protected under copyright, held by you. And it would be true.

+++++++++++++

Now what is considered copyright? How do you know so you won't infringe on anyone else?

Can you copyright infringe on someone by accident. I mean they have to have a ton of reviews for Divergent that all say "This book was awesome!" Sounds viable, but really, it doesn’t happen “by accident” whole sentences and phrases need to be copied. That is copyright infringement. If I type a phrase:

“Divergent was the most intense, original and ridiculously awesome book I’ve ever read.”

And you type:

“Divergent was the most awesome, intense and original book I’ve read in ages.”

Similar but not a copyright violation.

What you can do without being in copyright violation:

Quote another person's material in the process of a reviewing that work. In the Copyright Act it says that you can quote a small portion of another person's work if you are doing so in the act of criticism of that work – i.e. a review.

You can take ideas, facts and notions. Copyright law protects the expression of an idea, the portrayal but not the fact or idea. So, for example if I were to write a book that had vampires that sparkle, while Stephanie Meyer could get her high priced lawyers involved, the idea of a sparkly vampire is not able to be copyrighted. Granted I AM NOT a copyright lawyer so people might disagree...this is a very sticky area – you are always seeing lawsuits popping up suing this person and that person for copyright infringement based on ideas. But, technically you can’t copyright an idea.

Putting this concept thing into play in the book blog world, while I would love to think no one would do this – technically another blogger could do a Book Blogging Q&A, name it Book Blogging Basics (or something like that) and I could do nothing about it. Or, they could host a What’s In My Mailbox instead of In My Mailbox on Sunday. This legally can be done. Now, can you host a Book Blogging 101 on your blog? No. I’ve named it, it is technically copyrighted by me.

Yet, the morals come into play here. If you are a friend of mine, we follow each other and I go to your blog and see that you have basically copied my idea and implemented it on your blog - say you now have a little girl in striped stockings sitting on a plush vintage chair reading...looks similar to my Parajunkee girl, but not enough to be in copyright violation (because I illustrated her, so she's mine). Yes, copying it the highest form of flattery - but I'm still going to be all kind of aggravated. Probably even a little more than aggravated. That is not cool. Use other's blogs to inspire you - do not use them as a road map.

Tips to know to stay away from copyright infringement:

Even if you republish a bloggers review and credit them, you can still be in copyright violation. You can only use copyrighted material if you have permission from the author.

Even if you are not using the material for commercial use you still could be infringing on copyright laws. If you don’t have permission, you can’t use it.

+++++++++++++

So, what happened to inspire this post?

It has actually happened a few times, but this is the most recent and you would think that people would be smarter about it, but it keeps on happening.

Reviewers that can’t seem to think of their own reviews will steal pieces of other’s reviews and use them in their own reviews. The thought is really kind of sickening when you think of it and it gets you to thinking. Do these people even read the books? Or are they just so hungry for more books and to post more reviews that they are literally just copy and pasting other people's reviews? That is f'd up to say the least.

But, then to play devil’s advocate…what if they are just overwhelmed? Going through a block and they use pieces and part of other’s reviews to sort of jump-start their own ideas. Do we feel bad for her? Now, granted it’s not right – but the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.

Whatever her intentions were though, it was done. Whole reviews were taken and republished as her own. And she was found out. It breaks down to this, people, you can’t take other people’s work and pass it off as your own, unless you pay for it or ask permission. When the person you stole from (yes, it is stealing) finds out they won’t be happy.

They call her out. Well Wicked Lil Pixie called her out. And to be honest, I’m all about it. Plagiarism isn’t cool. I don’t want my work stolen and I hope I have the balls that if it happens to me that I shout to the world about it. Thinking on it, I most likely would, never one to hold my tongue and you shouldn’t. We put a ton of work into these reviews – when someone comes along and just copy and pastes your work and claims that it is there own that is highly uncool, no matter what the notion behind it was. In fact it is theft. This person is a thief.

Would you steal form a store? Claim an object as your own even if you didn’t pay for it? It is the same thing. The same as ePiracy, downloading music from the internet and “free” copies of eBooks.

I give Wicked props for calling her out and you guys should do the same if you find someone stealing your work. We can’t allow things to happen like this. We can’t let our very friendly online community turn ugly. And again, on the same not of non-ugliness, for the thief in question, don’t harass her with mean emails and nasty comments --- just unfollow. Best way to shut someone up, if they don't have a readership, they can't get their message across. (I also have a few other suggestions, I'll talk about those in a bit). If you were one of the reviewers that had their post stolen, post about it. Let the world know. The more people that are aware of it, the more impact it will have.

Now, how can you protect yourself.

• One way is to enact some Google alerts with your name and maybe specific phrases you use.
• A second way is to do random Google searches for phrases in your posts. Don’t just search post titles, search whole paragraphs of the post.
• Then put a Creative Commons or Copyright phrase on your blog. http://creativecommons.org/ 
• Add a digital fingerprint to your RSS feed. This is a little phrase that only shows up in your RSS – so if someone hijacks your feed it will show up on their blog. Check out this article to do this: http://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2008/08/27/protecting-blogspot-feeds/ 
• There are also copyright enforcement tools such as http://copyscape.com/
• Another suggestion is https://fairshare.attributor.com/fairshare/ this one I actually like better and it gives you weekly reports

Once you find your blog has been infringed upon:

1. CONTACT. Contact the violator and have them remove the content
2. DMCA. Send a DMCA notice to the domain registrar or to blogger if they don’t have a custom domain. This might not work that well, but it doesn’t hurt to try
3. REPORT. There are a few forums that you can do this to rally a crazy mob against them, http://www.intelproplaw.com/ip_forum/ is one of them.
4. DUPLICATE. Send a duplicate copy notice to search engines, this could flag their blog as an abusive site and they would be black-listed in search engines – meaning they won’t show up – the dreaded Google Sandbox.
5. SHOUT. Call them out. We are a small community. Word spreads.
6. LAWYER UP. You could technically get the law involved and take a case against the violator.

The post that inspired this post: Wicked Lil Pixie's Plagiarism Isn't Cool
The blogger that is in question: Bea's Book Nook

We have to send a message that we won't stand for plagiarism and ePiracy. Bloggers like this give us all a bad name. Plagarism just doesn't happen. You have to consciously steal someone's work.


That's it folks. Talk Less. Read More. Don't steal. Happy Thusday.
