This Week at Book Riot

Over at Book Riot this week.....I was on a bit of a writing spree:





I talked about the problem with "free" ebooks for poor kids, the new government initiative with publishing. It's not about the books; it's about access. I took over the "Literary Tourism" series over the weekend, with tons of bookish places to stop and visit if you're in the great state of Iowa. Three on a YA theme covers characters who are blind, as well as realistic takes on fairy tales. I found a pile of fun, useful, and off-the-wall (...and on-the-wall) ampersand fetish. After an email conversation where I noted I didn't know where a book was because it could be in my car or a bag or donated....I had to do a "Shit Book Nerds Do" post with contributions from fellow Book Rioters.
