Amen, Kitty! I’m feeling that way about reading. I can’t seem to concentrate on anything so I just end up watching TV. Well, at least I can still talk about the bookish news.
*Banana Republic wants to dress you like Anna Karenina…sort of.
*Random Penguin? Penguin House? House of Penguin? Random Penguin House? All good names if Penguin and Random House merge.
*Publisher’s Weekly gets Canadian.
*Well, this sucks. Douglas & McIntyre file for bankruptcy.
*Mo Yan Culture Experience Zone. Sounds trippy. Please don’t touch the radishes.
*Stephen King visits some kids in New Brunswick.
*The Count of Monte Cristo Readalong. Join and get your revenge on. REVENGE!
*Why did Amazon erase some woman’s digital library? And isn’t this like them coming into your house and taking all the books you’ve bought from them and taking them away?
*Vote! Vote for your choice of Canada Reads (of 10 selected) by region.
*Etsy Love: Wow! Impressive bouquet made from Pride and Prejudice by Anthology on Main.
That’s all for now. Have a great weekend!
If Amazon ever did that to my library I would make some sort of viral video on YouTube and take them down. Seriously. No one is messing with my books.
ReplyDeleteI love your round-ups, Chris, Random Penguin House, awesome! The Amazon case is worrying, though I suppose it was bound to happen sometime. In a way it's better it happened now rather than later.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you're joining us for the Count readalong!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with Amazon? You can get a way with a lot, but you don't mess with a woman's BOOKS.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, they erased her library! That right there is why using only my kindle terrifies me. I will never get rid of my real books.
ReplyDeleteREVENGE!
ReplyDeleteI got the Banana Republic Anna K ad in my mailbox. I shook my head and tossed it, because that's just wrong.
