Saturday Miscellany—7/17/21

Like I said Wednesday, I’m back in the office after 15 months and I spent most of the week trying to adjust my reading/surfing/blog-hopping habits. So I really don’t have a lot for this post. On the other hand, as of yesterday, my NetGalley Feedback Ratio is at 99%, so, you know…what do I care about anything else right now?

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 Print Book Sales Soar in Year’s First Half—that’s some nice news
bullet 3 Ways to Become a Better Reader with Audiobooks—libro.fm has some good tips
bullet Why do so few men read books by women?—good food for thought
bullet Goodreads Tips & Tricks, Vol. 2—for those who want to use the ubiquitous/oft-maligned Social Network more effectively
bullet Favourite Book Quotes of 2021 so far!—this is a good idea for a post, and filled with pretty good content.

This Week's New Releases That I’m Excited About and/or You’ll Probably See Here Soon:
bullet The Heathens by Ace Atkins—Quinn Colson and Lille Virgil are on opposite sides of a murder investigation—and probably a new stage in the local politics/organized crime saga, too. But that’s not in any of the official descriptions. I’m hoping next week is when I get to dive into this.
bullet Dead Man’s Grave by Neil Lancaster—DS Max Craigie investigates the murder of Scotland’s most powerful crime family in the first novel of a promising-looking series. I’m starting this one today.

Lastly I’d like to say hi and extend a warm welcome to Sheri Dye, who followed the blog this week. Don’t be a stranger!
