A Reading and Book Promotion Community and Service!

About Me

Greetings and welcome! I'm Marlive, you know - the girl reading in the south.com! I'm the founder and business owner of TheGRITS.com, a reading and book promotion community, that's dedicated to the promotion of classic and contemporary literature for readers and writers of all ages. Our reading communities for adults and children, collectively consist of author interviews, book reviews, reading guides, book club listings, and interactive elements such as author chats, email book discussion, virtual book tours, and book parties. Our web publicity service for authors designs online book campaigns tailored to fit an authors special interests, talents, books, and readership.

My Interests

My interests are books, books, and more books! When I am not involved with all the daily operations of thegrits.com, I am a contributing Editor for the Written Voices literary column at AAKultureZone.com

I'd like to meet:

Due to my web publicity work, I enjoy connecting with authors, readers, and all book industry professionals 24/7!Add Comment

Music:

I can listen to all types of Jazz 24/7. My favorite Jazz station is Smooth Jazz 95.7 - The Wave! But I have to say that when I'm doing some serious reading, it is classical music all the way for this reading diva!

Movies:

I love movies! But those books adapted for film are my favorite!

Television:

When I'm not reading and surfing the Internet, I'm a HUGE Law & Order, SVU, Criminal Intent, and Lincoln Heights fan!

Books:

There's not enough space for me to list all of the excellent books I've enjoyed over the years. But I will say that my all time favorite 20th Century writer is Langston Hughes. But just in case you'd like to see what I've been reading over the years, do a search for - thegritsdotcom - at the following book lovers social networks to see my online catalog of books: aNobii.com, GoodReads.com, LibraryThing.com, Shelfari.com
