I've been travelling around the book blogosphere this week commenting on various BBAW posts. It was exhausting but a lot of fun. I met new bloggers, added many to my Google Reader and books to my wish list. My blogging goals remain the same: work hard to improve my content and engage the readers of my blog. I'd also like to reach out to more people in the book world. What about you?
Now for the news in the book world. If you are new to my blog, every Friday I post links to interesting book related stories.
*Jimmy Fallon finds some weird books you should not read. Not sure what's more disturbing pantyhose crafts or that dating advice.
*The love letters of Oscar Wilde are discovered.
*Oprah will announce her next book pick but it might be the worst kept secret ever.
*Amazon tries to put the ipad in a headlock.
*Okay, so Obama wrote a children's book, but is it any good? Only the kids can say for sure.
*Pretty printable bookplates.
*What happens to literary characters when a series ends? The Frenemy hunts down the Babysitter Club girls.
*Etsy Love: Amen! "Abridged novels have no place on my bookshelf" and let the world know it with a pin from Beanforest.
That's it for this week. Next week things get back to normal and I have a bunch of new reviews. If you're new to my blog, how about adding me to your RSS feed reader (look way up there in the corner ;) ) so you can come back. Don't be a stranger!

May you continue reading great books and blog about those for us!
ReplyDeleteHere is my BBAW: Forgotten Treasures post!
Sound like great goals for next year!
ReplyDeleteI've never read a politically-written children's book that I thought was good. Hm... :D
ReplyDeleteHappy BBAW!
I love your goals- and the LOLcat!
ReplyDeleteReaching out to more people in the book world - that is a great goal that I should have added!
ReplyDeleteHello, I found your post today and I shared it on my blog. Bear with me because I'm not always sure of what I'm doing as I am still learning the ins and outs of blogging. Anyway I have a book blog. Oh I really liked your blog and I'm going to follow you.
ReplyDeleteOh here is that link. http://ureadmorebooks.blogspot.com/2010/09/friday-bookish-buzz-double-double.html
ReplyDeleteSaw you mention changing your template but I love your template! :)
ReplyDeleteLove letters of Oscar Wilde? Hmmm!!
Hi Chris, I should have discovered your blog ages ago, but here I am... thank heavens for BBAW. I hope you had fun this week and I'm enjoying all the new blogs I've run into. Thanks for the interesting book news.
ReplyDeleteI am rather shocked that Oprah picked a Jonathan Franzen novel! I will likely read it at some point.
