Better/more consistent week around here. Hopefully, I can improve next week. Currently, I have a backlog of 35 books to review. 35? More discipline is called for on my part.
Apparently, there’s a theme to this week’s batch of odds ‘n ends about books and reading that caught my eye. You’ve probably seen some/most/all of them, but just in case:
- Teens Don’t Read For Fun Anymore, New Data Says — Paragraph 4 is perhaps a little too rosy.
- Four Reasons Why You Should Be Reading Young Adult Fiction — Whether you’re a teen (reader or not) or just a reader, some food for thought
- 25 YA Novels Everyone — Even Adults — Should Read — If that last once convinces you, here’s fodder for a TBR list
- This Week’s New Releases I’m Excited About and/or You’ll Probably See Here Soon:
- Peacemaker by K. A. Stewart — I’ve been wondering where Stewart had disappeared to, and she’s back with a new, promising looking series. Works for me.
- Dirty Magic by Jaye Wells — Urban Fantasy Police Procedural. Have heard good things about this, and I hope it lives up to the hype. Looks good.
- Indexing by Seanan McGuire — it’s in paperback now. I really wonder how it’d be to read this as a book rather than a serial.
