You can see why the moderator didn’t use the podium… …and Thursday and Friday I spent a few days in New York with books and friends at Book Expo America 2014. So worth the trip.

I’m sad to report that the fine little shop pictured at the upper left, the Village Book Store in Littleton, NH, just closed for good last week. I’m glad I did my little bit to support them when we stopped during our New England trip last summer..

This week is a “Wild Card” Wordless Wednesday, so we get to post photos of whatever we like! I like that I was able to participate in this past weekend’s 24-Hour Readathon—I got in close to 10 hours of reading altogether, plus tweeting and updating. I summarized my Readathon activity in a Storified Sunday Salon post; here, it’s condensed even more, in pictures. An InLinkz Link-up Subscribe to Blog via Email Enter your email address […]

I promise this is not completely off topic for this week’s Wordless Wednesday theme, “Eggs.” The Penguin Book Truck was at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books this past weekend. It’s based on a food truck. Eggs are food. And penguins lay eggs. Works for me!

Beth Kephart’s new YA novel, Going Over, takes place in Berlin during the decade before the Wall came down, and is coming out in time to commemorate that event’s 25th anniversary. This is a suitably graffiti-covered piece of the Wall at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California.

Spring Bloggiesta is happening during Birthday Weekend, which means two contradictory things: I have some time off to spend on blog maintenance I have some time off for my birthday and I don’t want to spend a lot of it on blogging-related stuff I’m resolving the conflict by limiting my Bloggiesta projects to Friday, March 28, so my to-do list is an appropriately short one: Update my Review Archive spreadsheet Prepare templates for upcoming reviews […]
