Friday Bookish Buzz: Scary Buzz

funny pictures-Is Halloween over yet?


Just a couple more days and the zombies, vampires, and superheroes will be knocking at the door. Scary stuff for little kitties. Here's another scary thought: it's 57 days until Christmas! *Screeeeeeeeam!!* Let's get through Halloween first.

What's new?

*Do you sell books for a living? Here's a list of 10 Myths about booksellers. Agree?

*Amazon: trying not to suffocate its employees.

*Want to be a Persephone Santa? Here's how.

*Reading in the john, it's gross but won't kill you.

*Why are ebooks riddled with errors? I've wondered this myself.

*Planning a Halloween party? How about a little murder mystery game with Flavia De Luce?

*Kobo plans to jump into the publishing biz.

*The flip side to "YA is too adult": Adult fiction too childish?

*Etsy Love: Scrabble tile pendant of Louisa May Alcott quote from HomeStudio.

Have a great one!

  1. I love Halloween. Just freaking love it. And yet this year I am not really looking forward to the trick or treating part of it. Maybe buying some candy (and taste testing it) will get the juices flowing?

  3. I don't know if I buy the eBook errors story. I've been finding more and more errors in newly published regular books as well. (Read Charlotte Gray's "Gold Diggers" if you don't believe me). Maybe it's a recession thing-- are copy editors being laid off?

  6. Thanks for mentioning the 10 Myths about Booksellers. I've written about the myths from the perspective of owning a bookstore myself, in case you are interested.
