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:
- Books worth $2.5 million stolen in a daring London heist — Obviously, not suggesting this was justified, but c’mon . . . who hasn’t been there when it comes to a book you just “have to have”?
- Neil Gaiman announces Neverwhere sequel, The Seven Sisters — huh. Okay…Neverwhere isn’t my favorite, but sign me up for more.
- How It Happened by Brad Parks — Parks gives a thumbnail view of his career
- Author Kevin Hearne Is Leading A Plague of Giants — ooooh. This is going to be good.
- Just Who Are the Tuatha Dé Danaan, Anyway? — can’t help but run into them in UF lately, but everyone has their own take — this is a good look back on early stories about the Tuatha Dé Danaan.
- A Couple of Book-ish Related Podcast Episodes you might want to give a listen:
- Episode 17 of Two Crime Writers — usual good stuff, plus the interview with Adrian McKinty is hilarious
- Elan Mastai by Beaks & Geeks
- This Week’s New Releases I’m Excited About and/or You’ll Probably See Here Soon:
- The Impossible Fortress by Jason Rekulak — okay, it came out last week, but I forgot to mention it. This celebration of the 80s looks great.
Lastly, I’d like to say hi and welcome to Mollie Player for following the blog this week.

I’m with you on that “movie cover” feeling. Bleh.
As for Hearn’s new offering, I think I’ll wait to see if it is truly a trilogy or sprawls out…
HCNewton
not a fan of 4/5-part trilogies? Such a stickler for rules…

Would-be rulers of the world HAVE to know when to put their foot down about the rules!
