Smatterings

Looking for a way to spend your $5 Amazon coupon for pre-ordering the latest Harry Potter book? May we suggest:
Contributor Jason Starr’s latest release THE FOLLOWER. Hilarious rapid-fire dialogue combined with ever-increasing tension made this book one of my favorites. It releases today and is the perfect read by pool or surf.
If fantasy is more to your taste, Sarah Monette’s THE MIRADOR is now available as well. This is the next installment in her Labyrinth series.
For fans of Erin Hunter’s Warriors series, contributor Victoria Holmes tells us that Aug. 21 is the upcoming release date of FIRESTAR’S QUEST is a must-have for the Warriors fan.
Finally, today’s Flogging the Quill post chronicles Ray’s brush with Internet slander on Amazon, and what he did about it. That the slanderer was a fellow writer makes it even more heinous. Go check out his post for the grisly details. He’s handling it with a lot more class than I would have.
$5 gift voucher for preordering, what cheap skates!
My bricks and mortar bookstore gave a $15 gift voucher with every book just for buying it. The more I read about other bookstores online and elsewhere, I think I’ve found the best bookstore in the world
Wow, MaryK, it sounds like you have! Keep buying those books.
