Welcome to CBY Book Club
My name is Al Stone, and I'm a writer from the UK. There are only a few things I can say I'm absolutely passionate about, and reading is high on the list. I read all genres except erotica. I'm also not too big on romance novels.
I never thought I would have the time to manage a blog, but it turns out I'm good at multi-tasking - and I have a little help from a few otherwordly friends, whom I can't name for legal reasons. I was inspired to create a blog after stumbling upon a site called Wattpad. I saw many good books on the site that were going unnoticed and had the urge to shed some light on those books. Very quickly, my blog started to gain attention, so I started showcasing books by published authors, and the site has continued to flourish since then.
CBY (Chosen By You) officially launched on May 12, 2013. While the blog features mostly YA fiction, I welcome all genres. I love to chat with authors, bloggers and book lovers, so please feel free to contact CBY with any questions or concerns at cbybookclub at gmail dot com.
Thanks for listening.
