The crazy cold, wet weather we've been having might be over. Lord, I hope so. The summer doesn't last long so I need to squeeze all the goodness out of it that I can. My Summer of Chris is going well. I'm reading some fun books. Next week, I'll be posting a review of The Missing Ink and guest post from Karen E Olson for her book tour. Hope you'll all check it out!

*If you don't know what to read next, maybe you can try this site.

*A bizarre duo: Fawcett and Rand.

*Nabokov's unfinished book will be published by the Heff.

*Want a Kindle 2? It just got a little easier on the pocketbook.

*Speaking of Amazon... I so hope this isn't true. Amazon wants to put ads into e-books.

*Did you almost forget about The Jewel of the Medina controversy? The men who firebombed the publisher's house get sentenced.

*Hey ladies! Ever wanted a sexy dude to read to you? Well, now you can!

*Cute way to keep track of kids' summer reading from Martha Stewart.

*Giveaway! Signed copy of Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book from Natasha @ MawBooks.

*Etsy Love: Cute felt bookmarks from Urban Paisley Handmade.

As always, I hope you all have a great weekend!

  2. Good to hear your weather is looking better, ours is quite nice right now too.

    Loved the link to sexy guys reading - Dan reading Rotters Club was delicious :)

  3. I bought a Kindle 2 less than two weeks ago, just before they dropped the price - BUT if you've bought one within the last 30 days, Amazon.com will refund the difference if you call and ask! I have already done so :-). (Thanks to Bermudaonion for sharing that, so I thought I'd pass it along.)

  5. The idea of Amazon adding ads in with their e-books is a bit disconcerting. I watch regular TV via my DVR so I can skip the commercials and have come to really appreciate watching TV series on DVD's so I can avoid them altogether. I don't think I'd want to have to encounter them in my books too. Hopefully it isn't true!

  9. Ads in ebooks? egads, does it get any worse? Another reason for me why an e-reader is not a good investment right now!
