That's one way to do it.
It's a snow day here today. We had snow and freezing rain last night and while there's still snow on the ground it won't last long. We're getting rain. It's a messy day!
So any big plans for the weekend?
*Famous (famous?) librarian Nancy Pearl makes deals with the Amazon.
*More concerned parents (of high schoolers) want a book banned.
*Plagarism, a scandalous problem in the self-published world of Amazon. It's ugly.
*More Happy in Kids' Meals: McDonald's in the UK replace toys with books (for a limited time).
*Authors hang out on Twitter.
*Want to make a kitty bookmark? How About Orange shows you how.
*Etsy Love: A pretty little book clip Let Me Fly from Yee Von Illustrations.
And if you haven't seen like yet, here it is, what books do in bookstores at night.
Have a good one!
Great links, Chris! I love love love the video. Couldn't help posting it on my Facebook earlier in the week.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm a little iffy about the Nancy Pearl/Amazon pairing. It's cool but it's Amazon. Meh!
Oh, and I Linkapalooza'ed you today. How's that for a mouthful of a word?
ReplyDeleteThanks Andi!
DeleteI'm not sure how I feel about the whole Nancy Pearl/Amazon thing. I understand why she would want to do something like that but surely she has enough clout to go through a publisher who would get the books out in a wider range of retail opportunities. I also wonder if AZN approached her or if she went to AZN first.
ReplyDeleteYes, she could have got just about anyone to publish her, I would think. I'm sure there is a lot more to the story.
DeleteSnow day here too!
ReplyDeleteAw, Canada!
DeleteI love that video, too! So cool. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe kids here didn't end up with a snow day. The snow stopped too early in the night and they had it all cleaned up. We are just having some weird weather...
ReplyDeleteplease send snow this way. seattle is promising snow this week but i worry it won't deliver and i'd love a few days of it!
ReplyDeleteas for the question about if nancy pearl is famous. i think we get to officially call you famous when you have your own action figure: http://www.mcphee.com/laf/
