Odds ‘n ends over the week about books and reading that caught my eye. You’ve probably seen some/most/all of them, but just in case:
- Harper Lee’s new book gets readers — under lock and key — It’s been a bit since we checked in on the saga of Go Set a Watchman.
- Encouraging Teenagers to Read, by Choosing Books From the Non-Y.A. Shelves — some good (and some self-evident) advice from the NY Times
- What Should a Book Cover Do? — Covers are a lot more important than they should be, this look at the process is really fascinating.
- Film Franchise Based on Gregory Mcdonald’s Fletch Series Moves to Relativity — am not enthused by this. But who knows? Maybe they’ll do it right.
- This Week’s New Releases that look interesting. A couple of YA titles caught my eye this week:
- Hit by Delilah S. Dawson — the underlying concept of this book is so good, it almost doesn’t matter what Dawson does with it.
- The Prom Goer’s Interstellar Excursion by Chris McCoy — looks like the silly kind of fun that could make for a pleasant evening.
Lastly, I’d like to say hi and welcome to byclarkellis for following the blog and Injoy’s Blogs + Book Reviews for following the uglier mirror at booklikes this week.
