It’s been a sparse couple of months, reading-wise. I’m fighting to get the big book written, which is taking up a lot of spare time. Although, ultimately, I would rather be writing than reading…and I’m pretty sure you think I should be, too. Discoverability Kathryn Kristine Rusch On Amazon This is most definitely a for-authors […]

In short, I’m not reading much of anything right now. But unlike some people who never read at all, not anything, even a newspaper (and I confess that I simply do not understand people like that…do you?), my version of “not much” is probably pretty substantial. ___ Brand Like A Rock Star: Lessons from Rock

I’m so terribly tempted to say “I’m reading nothing!” because my son got married three days ago, and I’ve only just got home from the mountains and faced the blasted moonscape that is my house, after the chaos of preparations for the wedding. But I did read a couple of pages here and there late

We’re in the dog days of renovations at the moment – I don’t get to read much at all, except for odd nights when we just can’t move anymore, and we go to bed early to read. (Translation: stare at the book for thirty seconds while the words blur, then wake up a few hours
There’s a new newsletter in town. This one has a twist. All the books listed in it are only 99¢. Their motto is “Never pay more than a buck for a book ever again!“. And one more twist: They’re all non-fiction, self-help, inspirational and motivational books…except for Fridays, when dollar-only novels are listed. If you

The Stand by Stephen King I’m still having a mad fling with fiction, but the number of books I’ve read have sharply declined for two reasons. The first is that we’ve (finally) started renovating, and that is eating up humungous amounts of time, both spare and not-so-spare. I’ll be writing more about that in another

I’m always interested in exploring new reading software and applications. Developers are improving them all the time. I have several personal criteria against which I rate the various apps: 1) Ease of reading books – does the screen look pretty? 2) Sorting and categorizing – does the program let you sort the books on your

I’ve written at least two posts for this blog dealing with ebooks and print books (“Advantages And Drawbacks Of Both Paper And Pixel Books” and “E-book Reading 101 – Part A”), and both of them are a bit old now. I’ve stayed away from the print v’s ebook discussion for quite a while, primarily because

Oh, I’ve been having so much fun with my reading, lately. Fiction. Tons of it. I’ve been wallowing in stories. Weeah! Getting Things Done David Allen And right out of the gate, I’m a big fat liar. This is non-fiction. But considering that the vast majority of what I usually read is non-fiction, how-tos and

I’m right into the thick of plotting and building a really big novel. Consequently, there are a lot of non-fiction research titles plugging up my readers. Let’s see: A Brief History of the Vikings: The Last Pagans or the First Modern Europeans? Jonathan Clements This is a great book for research, because it skims over
