I really thought I had a decent list of things for the week, but when I opened my Pocket this morning, all I saw was stuff I posted last year, things I had no idea why I saved and…four other pieces. What did I spend all week doing?

Oh well, I’ll make this short and sweet and then go lock myself away for awhile to finish some in-progress posts and work on taxes. Fun day, eh?
Odds n ends about books and reading that caught my eye this week. You’ve probably seen some/most/all of them, but just in case:
bullet Fran Lebowitz’s One-Star Amazon Reviews—Lebowitz is one of my favorites, I love this lady’s humor and there are pieces by her I can read over and over. Now I see she spends time writing 1-Star Reviews for Amazon? I’m in danger of losing hours here…
bullet The Future of Police Procedurals: What is the responsibility—and the path forward—for authors writing crime fiction about police?—Michael Kaufman describes the challenge of writing a police procedural after the Summer of 2020.
bullet Is an Audible subscription still worth it?
bullet I did my first Twitter poll this week, At what point do you decide to DNF a book of it’s not working for you?—the results are about what I’d predict. What about you?

Lastly I’d like to say hi and extend a warm welcome to MCG who followed the blog this week. Don’t be a stranger, and use that comment box, would you?
