- Last week, I caught an NPR report on book-centered social networking sites. I shouldn’t have listened. I already have LibraryThing, Goodreads, and Shelfari accounts, and now I’ll end up wasting hours playing with aNobii and BookJetty.
- The Pulse Blogfest ends today at Simon & Schuster. For two weeks, over 120 S&S young adult authors (Judy Blume, Ellen Hopkins, Gloria Skurzynski) answered readers’ questions.
- Nerdlingers of the world unite. Dungeons and Dragons Core Rulebook Gift Set is #98 on the Amazon bestsellers list.
- My father reminds me daily to watch the John Adams miniseries on HBO. Apparently, it’s worth watching since David McCullough’s book is back on the bestsellers at #31.
- In other movie/book news, 21 comes out tomorrow and its source material, Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions, is currently #61. Look for this book to become even more popular in the next week and me to take an impromptu trip to Las Vegas.
- The New York Times Sunday Book Review section reviewed Sarah Boxer's Ultimate Blogs: Masterworks from the Wild Web. The book is a “sampler” of blogs. Its biggest flaw? Not featuring Book Rater’s Literature Reviews.
