Trick or Treat! All ready for the little monsters tomorrow? I hope so. I wonder if there is any spooky news in the book world this week.
*Stephen King to write comic book called American Vampire. Scary!
*American Price War on books will hurt readers, not to mention writers.
*Do you think Philip Roth is right? Is the novel dead? I think he's a glass half empty guy.
*Scholastic causes controversy with Luv Ya Bunches.
*Feel like a little shopping? Romance lover? Harlequin converts vintage cover art into stationary.
*Etsy Love. I think this is a pin for many of us: The Problem with Bookstores button. Or I Like Bookworms by Bean Forest's shop.
Have a great spooky weekend!
I love the problem with bookstores button!!
ReplyDeleteHeehee! I love the LOL Cat this week!
ReplyDeleteGreat-lookin' links as always. I can't wait to read the Stephen King one and the Philip Roth. Roth is getting crankier in his old age. lol
ReplyDeleteA vampire story? Salem's Lot isn't making too much $ from the latest vampire craze I guess.
ReplyDeleteHahah! Love those pins in that shop. Especially the "Antagonist Vs. Protagonist" ones. :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to read a vampire comic by Stephen King. that would be pretty thrilling!
Chris, why did you have to post that bookstore button link? On noes!!!
ReplyDeleteI'd eat your cupcakes any day of the week.
Philip Roth is getting terribly negative in his old age. I think we can safely ignore his pessimistic viewpoint. I certainly hope so!
ReplyDeleteThe LOL cat is great, as always.
So, those $9 bestsellers were technically illegal? Interesting!
Looks like Walmart is still at it. Trying to be the only store left on the planet. Now they are doing it with book stores. Very scarey. There are many people who will buy books there because they are the cheapest. Please don't fall for it! As soon as they drive the competition out they will raise the prices and go back to slim pickings in books.
ReplyDeleteI won't sell myself to the lowest bidder! I refuse to shop at Walmart for anything!
