The new site is up (more or less) and has a couple of post from today: Christian Books on the Knob. Twitter and Facebook are up, along with the RSS feeds and subscription options. If you are on Facebook, be sure to Like the page - I need 25 Likes to activate the username option for the page. Edit to add: Well, we made the 25 with many to spare. Hope to see all of you there!
Edit to add: I may have run into an issue with using "Christian" in the blog name, since none of my Kindle Subscription with that word in the title will publish over at Amazon. If I do need to change it, what do you suggest? Inspirational (accurate for some publishers, but not others)? Religious?
Leave me a note and I'll try to look thru them tomorrow, after Turkey dinner.
Book Reviews and Bargain reads for the Amazon Kindle, nook, Kobo, Sony and other ereaders, Kindle Fire, nookColor, Kobo Vox, and other tablets, along with some games, music, technology and computers tossed in now and then.

Thank you for the different sites/feeds. Thanks also for your hard work in maintaining this blog. :)
I just wanted to say thanks for separating out the Erotica books to a separate blog. I always just skipped over those posts, but felt uncomfortable recommending your site. Thanks for doing what you do so I can find good free books easily. Happy Thanksgiving!
I am canceling my Kindle blog subscription to Books on the Knob because the Christian book news will no longer be included for the same subscription fee. You do a great job, but this just doesn't work for me. I'm going to try a competing blog to see how well that one works.
I feel the same as Robin, only I am glad that the Christian books are being separated out. Everyone has their own preferences. I prefer not to have my leisure reading peppered with sermons.
Actually, they will. It's easy enough to include both from this end to the kindle subscription (today's are missing, due to the adjustments on the blog).
I'll set up a new subscription for "main blog only" that skips the Christian posts.
Thanks for this - frankly I hated having to page down through things like "Amish Romance" (!?) and other evangelical "lit."
Thanks for all the books you list for us. I know it must be alot of work, and we do appreciate it.
I, personally, like the Christian or inspirational titles, and non fiction. I always just skipped over the erotica stuff.
What will be on the main blog now?
Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving!
I really did like it much better when everything was together. The color scheme for the romance/erotica blog is really garish and bright and will draw undue attention if using in a public setting. I'm sure my work will end of blocking it since it's flagged as erotica. I thought you did a really great job in blocking the descriptions of the spicier books so those not interested did not have to look if they didn't want to. The same with the Christian books. I really like some of those books. I've been checking your blog daily for several years now and have recommended to many people without any qualms as to the content since it had some of nearly everything. I personally don't like science fiction/fantasy but had no problem weeding those out if I wasn't interested. For those who like many types of books it's just going to take more time to go to all 3 blogs. I'm sorry that others have made you feel you must separate by genre. I really appreciate your efforts for your readers but an not a fan of this new direction. Sheila C.
Oh, I meant to say that I am not on facebook. I think I forgot to say that.
Will you be filtering out the repeats? Please, pretty pretty please?
I agree wholeheartedly with Sheila C.
I keep a window open at all times to Books on the Knob and will really miss the simplicity of having one window shopping for all my various book interests.
I agree with Sheila C and Dana. I too prefer one stop shopping and did not mind skipping over the books that did not appeal to me. In fact I was exposed to certain authors in other genres because you highlighted them in your blog.
Would "Books of Faith on the Knob" work?
I don't think there is a need to separate out anything. Readers should just skim over what isn't of interest.
Thank you for all of the work you put into this blog!
I'm fairly certain that you spend a lot of your time to create this site for us that enjoy the benefits of the hard work that you provide for us daily to take advantage of for free These day's it's hard to many people who will do something like you do without asking for a fee. Please forgive me, but some of the responses from these people don't show gratitude, nor graciousness for your time and effort.
Personally, I am grateful for your time and effort you put into the website. I just pass over the book's that I am not interested in. It doesn't take much time, and, or effort.
I also agree with RockdaMan, 'Books of Faith' sounds great!
Looking forward to seeing the new version, for Christian and Religious books.
Thank you for your time and service dedicated to '' Books on the Knob''.
