Do You Use QR Codes?

You know those fun little black and white squares you see everywhere these days? Those are QR codes (short for Quick Response code). Do you scan them? I often think about it – and sometimes I follow through – but I’ll admit I’m not always jumping to do it (partially because I’m a little phobic, being a computer nerd, at how easy it would be to use them for nefarious purposes.)

Still – they’re fun and quite the rage in today’s world of mobile computing.

And so, I’ve been toying with making some bookmarks for the signing I’m going to in September and to just generally have around. Cause can you ever have too many bookmarks? No, no you can’t. I got it in my head to put a QR code on them to take people to my website. But then I thought, “where on my website should it drop them?” There are so many choices – do I put them on the front page? The books page? My blog?

And then, as Gru would say, “Lightbulb!”

What if I had a QR code for each book?

A little Googling, a little more playing and…voila!
