Bookish news links

No review today as I’ve been plotting and writing (and reading interferes with my world building), but I’m reinstituting an irregular feature here at Booklorn where I round up some interesting links of what is going on in publishing. At most it will be weekly, but if I don’t find anything of general interest it…

Cheap(er) Kindle

Just got this note from Amazon.com that lets you (U.S. only “yous”) buy a Kindle for $100 off. There are a few hoops so depending on how much you want a Kindle (or don’t) this may or may not appeal to you (your mileage will vary, etc.): Thanks to Chase, you get $100 off Kindle…

Word of Blog Book Finds: Cranford

I have a growing Wish List and TBR pile because of book blogs. Whenever I add a book to my list in Bookpedia, I add the URL of the blog that brought the book to my attention (that way I can refresh my memory as to why it’s on the list). I’ve decided to share…

Friday Field Trip #3

It’s Friday and time for another foray into the wilds of the Internets. It’s a long list because it’s late as I write this and I don’t have enough neurons firing to prune the list productively. Here are some bookish links from this week. This first one is non-bookish, but it’s Olympic. Maybe it’s best…

Friday Field Trip #2

A few bookish links from the wilds of the Internets that I came across this week: Book trailer is among YouTube’s most viewed. (Found through Booksquare) Go Sherrilyn Kenyon! Acheron went on sale Monday. Trust In Book Lovers, Not Reviewers, a rebuttal to Will Blogs Save Books article (linked to last week) that presents a…

Friday Field Trip #1

I tend to collect links to articles on writing, reading, publishing and related topics throughout the week. Instead of putting up a post every time I find one, I’m collecting them for Fridays for a field trip on the Internets to other sites. Hope you find something you missed in the list below, feel free…

Why Some Used Books Cost a Fortune on Amazon

Every once in a while I’ll look for a book or CD only to find that it is no longer available, except as used. Sometimes the prices are reasonable on Amazon, but other times the used books seem ridiculously overpriced (>$100). I could never figure out what possessed sellers to pick these prices. Today I…

Quirky book lovers (and haters)

Since I’m currently procrastinating about my own writing (I need something to workshop by 6 pm tonight), I thought I’d put up a short little post from my Google Reader reading: John Meier, the American collecting first editions of award-winning Canadian literature: Ikea Billy bookshelves, 500 books, and the Cultural Olympiad. Anne Carroll Moore, the…
