I’m Back!
While I had fully intended to prepare posts and have them ready to go during my entire trip, it didn’t work out that way. I got the first week done though and I wish I’d had time for more. I actually have a lot of things to post about. I’ll be back to regular posting [...]
Pregnancy Books
I’m in the process of reading five different pregnancy books right now. With the exception of The Hip Mama Survival Guide, they’re all pretty informative. I’ll talk about the Survival Guide later. The other four books: Your Pregnancy Week by Week, The Joy of Pregnancy, What to Expect When You’re Expecting (of course), and The [...]
Amazon Fail All Over Again?
I recently recieved an email from Simon Owens of Bloggasm about his latest post regarding Amazon. “Amazon Continue to Tighten Restrictions on AmazonConnect Bloggers” is a post about recent changes to the AmazonConnect user agreement. Owens spoke with Steve Weber, an author and AmazonConnect blogger, about this new user agreement. It’s hard to say whether [...]
Review: Push Comes to Shove — Wesley Brown
The second book out from Concord Free Press, Push Comes to Shove, was a intriguing, worth while read. It’s fairly short, just as Fitch’s Give and Take was. This one however is historical fiction. I am not usually a fan of historical fiction. Maybe I just haven’t read the right stuff in the past. I [...]
Book Art: Nicholas Galanin
I never knew that “book art” was a real thing until coming across Kylie Stillman. Even then I though, Wow. This artist is doing this amazing thing that no one else has ever done. I admit, I was completely ignorant. After that I found Su Blackwell‘s work. Then in May, Boing Boing featured artist Nicholas [...]
So Many Books, So Little Time
Months ago I won a contest on Twitter hosted by @Bookins. If you aren’t already familiar, Bookins is similar to Paperback Swap with a much nicer website and the ability to trade both DVDs and books. It works a bit differently from the swap, too. On Bookins, you “purchase” a book or DVD for the [...]

You can search a map for independent booksellers and other indie sellers in any area. The listings are open for additions 24/7, so if you’re indie, get your business on the map. You [...]
The Book Bench
The New Yorker has a fantastic blog called The Book Bench. It’s an online only feature that you don’t have to pay for. When I was writing Is Kindle a fad?, I had stumbled on The Book Bench. I immediate subscribed to their feed and have been reading it ever since. For book lovers and [...]
Playing Catch Up
My posting lately has been pretty sporadic. I’m sorry for that. I really enjoy blogging, especially this blog. I also love all my readers. I don’t want to lose a single one of you. It has been very hectic in my life the past few weeks, but I’m hoping to be able to catch my [...]
