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:
- Physical-book sales are staging a comeback after many years of decline — I’ve posted this kind of thing before, but it’s still good to see
- Literary fiction readers understand others’ emotions better, study finds — the details on this are important, and I’m wondering what genre titles were used. Still, intriguing.
- Why I Review Everything I Read — I’ve been meaning to write this for a while, almost to the letter — which is kind of scary. One author asked me why I do the book blog thing, and I’ve been trying to answer her. Will just forward her this (and the next) link.
- Amateur book reviews – my thoughts — Fictionfile nails it.
- 6 Reasons Why It’s Important To Read Books You Hate — Co-sign, especially #5
- This Week’s New Releases I’m Excited About and/or You’ll Probably See Here Soon:
- The Barista’s Guide To Espionage by Dave Sinclair — Fahrenheit Press has another off-the-beaten-path crime/thriller novel out this week, champing at the bit for this one.
- I mistakenly listed this earlier in the month, whoops! Here’s where it belongs: Repo Madness by W. Bruce Cameron — I did not expect The Midnight Plan of the Repo Man to get a sequel, it didn’t need one. But I’ll gladly read it.
Lastly, I’d like to say hi and welcome to Real Tasty Pages for following the blog this week. Thanks to katknit for the interaction.
