Audible had a sale. Again. I’m kind of a sucker whenever they have a sale. I didn’t get a lot of review copies this week, and that’s mostly because I cut the list off early. When you read this I’ll be in my second all-day meeting at the ALA Midwinter Conference in hopefully-not-too-chilly Philly. Probably […]
I had to put myself in “kitten jail” to get this done. Hecate really, really, really wanted to play on the top of my desk – while I’m typing. After about the tenth round of “jump on the desk, stalk around the monitors, block the screen, climb into mommy’s lap and jump off” I moved […]
And we’re back! Or at least the publishing universe is back after two weeks of not very much. For me it always feels like the time period between New Year’s and the ALA Midwinter Conference is much too short and goes by in a flash. It isn’t even all that cold here, but it’s still […]
Yet another short stack. Probably the last short stack for a while as the publishing world is bound to come back to work on Monday. I’m looking forward to a deluge of new books on NetGalley and Edelweiss. Pride and Prejudice was actually a freebie from Amazon. The book is WELL out of copyright so […]
Welcome to the final STS post of 2019. Come to think of it, this is the final STS post of the entire decade. This is a weird week – in more ways than one. Yes, it was Xmas and now we’re in the doldrums between Xmas and New Year’s. You know, that time when even […]
Not a lot this week, and that’s probably a good thing. It’s the holiday doldrums – lots of time to read, not so many new books out to latch onto. And I’m realizing that I may never adjust to the whole thing about it not really getting “wintry” here in the winter. Don’t get me […]
What can I say? Audible had a sale – sorta/kinda. I got two audiobooks as part of the settlement from the whole “loss of Audible credits” fiasco. And it kind of rained and snowed books in general. They all just look so pretty when I see the covers. It’s the whole tsundoku thing – I […]
I got my first audio review copy this week. I’ve already started it and so far, so good, but the real test will be Monday on the treadmill. Anything that can make that process less boring is a winner! Also, after last week’s tiny stack, this one feels like a deluge. Books came flying at […]
This is going to be one of my weird STS posts, where I have books without covers. Well, presumably books without covers yet, at any rate. This is in service of the Thanksgiving holiday, as we’ll be away this week so I’m putting things together early – or at least as early as possible. Or […]
I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m having the damnedest time wrapping my head about Thanksgiving being this coming week. I know it’s not too early, but my brain keeps expecting it to be colder if it’s really Thanksgiving. Which it really is – no matter what I think of the subject. For Review: […]
