Been one of those weeks, and I’ve accomplished almost nothing blog-wise. I’ve started three reviews, and have notes on a couple more, but haven’t been able to translate those into something worth reading. Still I’ve been able to cobble together a decent batch of 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 sues hometown museum in Alabama — Wouldn’t it be nice to see her name in a headline about something good?
- PW Talks with Nicholas A. Basbanes — Publisher Weekly’s mini-interview with Basbanes is pretty interesting, I bet his book is fantastic or dry as dust. Not sure which, but I should try to get my hands on a copy.
- Mental Floss Exclusive: Our Interview with Bill Watterson! — Speaking of interesting interviews . . . Bill Watterson? Zowie!
- 11 Lessons That ‘Jane Eyre’ Can Teach Every 21st Century Woman About How To Live Well — title probably says it all.
- Just a few hours left in Harry Connolly’s The Great Way Kickstarter, that I talked about a couple of weeks ago. If you haven’t yet, you really should check it out.
Somehow, only saw new release this week that got my attention — which is fine as my TBR pile is tall enough that a strong breeze could topple it on me and cause serious injury. Taking a glance around, next week will be fuller. Still, the fact that Michael Connelly’s The Black Box is out in Mass Market Paperback is great news, I’m always up for Harry Bosch.
