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:
- Book up! How reading crime novels could help ease the symptoms of depression — huh. I buy it.
- ‘Ebooks are stupid’, says head of one of world’s biggest publishers — The head of Hachette Livre got his name in the news by saying something controversial.
- …and Erin Kelly (among many others), demurs: Ebooks are not ‘stupid’ – they’re a revolution
- What To Do When Your Favorite Authors’ Books Aren’t Coming Out Soon: Tweet Them for a Rec — Good idea, though I can see it being a new way to harass a writer.
- DOCTOR WHO New Series Episodes Getting Novelizations — The only way I got to know the third and fourth Doctors were through these books as a kid — and if i could’ve gotten more, I would’ve. I’ll be jumping at a chance to read Paul Cornell’s take on “Twice Upon a Time” — and the others sound good, too.
- 25 Legendary Literary Feuds, Ranked — a.k.a. Hemingway doesn’t play well with others.
- This Week’s New Release that I’m Excited About and/or You’ll Probably See Here Soon:
- The Armored Saint by Myke Cole — Cole makes the jump from UF to Epic Fantasy. This one looks good — hopefully will be able to post about it here next week.
Lastly, I’d like to say hi and welcome to Arrowhead Freelance and Publishing and Stephanie for following the blog this week.
