Saturday Miscellany—11/16/19

Good reads, but just a few 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:

    This Week’s New Releases I’m Excited About and/or You’ll Probably See Here Soon:

  • You Must Have A Death Wish by Matt Phillips—Phillips’ Know Me from Smoke was so good that I don’t care what this is about, I’m excited. (oh, it’s about a rookie hitman, if you must know).
  • Action At A Distance by Andrew Cartmel, Ben Aaronovitch, Brian Williamson, Stefani Renne—the newest Rivers of London comic paperback looks into Nightingale’s WWII past.
  • Paradox by Jeanne C. Stein—It’s been six years (wow! six years??!?) since Stein has published an Anna Strong novel. Can’t wait to see what brought her back.

Lastly, I’d like to say hi and extend a warm welcome to babblingstories, Zoé O’Farrell and kerrimcbooknerd for following the blog this week. Don’t be a stranger, and use that comment box, would you?

  1. I liked that piece abt Seth Meyers. I haven’t stayed up with him since SNL, but good to read his ideas here.

    • My watching ebbs and flows, too. I used to write with him in the background, but it started getting less background-y and more distracting, so I’ve cut back dramatically. But his author interviews are really strong. Interesting people, and he’s clearly familiar with their books (frequently including backlist items). Better than his counterparts when it comes to this.

  2. Thank you for the welcome! And thanks for the links to the interesting articles. I particularly enjoyed the one about how to read a book PROPERLY.

  3. I can only assume our blogs will get better after we’ve absorbed those important tips.
