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:
- How Books Designed for Soldiers’ Pockets Changed Publishing Forever — the more you know . . .
- The Gumshoe Site reports that Reed Farrel Coleman’s Where it Hurts and Joe Ide’s IQ (and 2 things I haven’t heard of) won 2017 Shamus Awards
- Matthew Norman: How I Write — some good snippets from Norman
- The Name’s Wolfe, Nero Wolfe: Rex Stout’s Influence on Ian Fleming — 2 weeks in a row with Wolfe pieces. Do I know how to attract readers or what? Possibly interesting to non-Wolfe readers as well.
- Why You Should Read More Than One Book at a Time — not sure I buy it all, but this is good
- A Book-ish Related Podcast Episode you might want to give a listen:
- SYFY25: Origin Stories Podcast with Neil Gaiman — thanks to very effective YouTube advertising, I tried a couple of episodes of Syfy’s Origin Stories podcast. I thought this one with Gaiman was just great.
Lastly, I’d like to say hi and welcome to Web Development (probably not the name he goes by), mitchavanza33, bigpetetafemd75 and One Stop Literary Services for following the blog this week.
