I’m going away for a few days, so I thought I’d leave you with an expanded edition of “What Caught My Eye This Week.” This is usually part of my Sunday Salon posts, but I don’t think I’ll be around the blog much this weekend.

I’m cheating a little in this week’s collage by including one of next week’s photos. Some prompts just aren’t a good fit for me, but it’s fun to join in when I can. #31bookpics links up each Friday at Quirky Bookworm. The originals of each photo are posted on Instagram.

A discussion in the Book Bloggers Google+ group about how we read blogs now—more than a year after the demise of Google Reader—got me thinking about tech. Specifically, I started thinking about what activities I prefer doing on laptop/desktop computer, tablet, and/or smartphone. Laptop/desktop computer: The stationary platform with the big screen is still my preferred place for composing blog posts and writing other lengthy pieces, although I do I draft and take notes on […]

WARNING: The following may contain potential spoilers for the novel and film Gone Girl, depending on your definition of “spoilers.” These are a few of the things I said about Gone Girl, the novel, two years ago: Gone Girl has been one of those “everyone’s talking about it” books for months. That said, it’s really not that easy to talk about, between the potential spoiler minefield of any plot discussion and the fact that…yeah, almost everyone’s talked about it […]
I’m trying to see if I can actually do 31 Days of Book Pics with Jessica at Quirky Bookworm this month. I’m off to a decent start, since I’ve come up with photo subjects for the first four prompts!

Clockwise from top left–Day 1: Bookshelves; Day 2: Book + Movie; Day 3: Book Cover: Day 4: Library Subscribe […]

…some books in need of new homes. Some were received for review consideration, considered, and not reviewed, so I can’t vouch for them. You can see what I thought of the others. And if you’re willing to come to my house and get them, you can take whichever ones you want.
