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:
- When Writers Outnumber Readers — Heidi Pitlor talks about the need for communities of readers.
- How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love a Mystery — Lee Goodman describes his transition from failed literary novelist to published mystery author.
- From Book Accumulator to Book Collector: A How To — at the end of the day, I think I’m more of an accumulator (and am happy that way). Still, food for thought.
- Total Damage Caused by Calvin from ‘Calvin & Hobbes’ Calculated — Wow. I knew Calvin had to be an expensive kid, but still.
- This Week’s New Releases I’m Excited About and/or You’ll Probably See Here Soon:
- Broken Soul by Faith Hunter — Jane Yellowrock #8? Already?
- The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan — The last of the Heroes of Olympus series — and the last book to feature Percy Jackson. I bet Riordan takes both out with a bang. Looking forward to this one.
- Poison Fruit by Jacqueline Carey — the third (and final?) Agent of Hel book. Such a fun series/hero. This should be good.
- Run by Andrew Grant — this is a very different kind of hero for Grant, but I bet this’ll be a taut thriller.
- Pennyroyal Academy by M. A. Larson — another twisted Grimm type tale for the YA crowd. Bet my daughter thinks this is fun. I likely will, too.
