I’ve saved up so many links this week to share with you – I am not sure where to start. How about another list-y style post?
Two Bookish Videos:
1. Come on All You Ghosts
Matthew Zapruder reads poetry selections at LitQuake in San Francisco.
2. The identity of The Rumpus’ own Sugar of “Dear Sugar” fame has been revealed. She has a book out. Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail - Cheryl Strayed, author of WILD, talks about her hike on the Pacific Crest Trail.
Two bits of Publishing Talk:
1. Digital-only book imprints are actually working. (See: Fiction Studio Books.) This could be very good news for emerging authors.
2. HAVE YOU HEARD OF WORLD BOOK NIGHT???? If not, now you have: See this.
Book Art:
When I pinned this to Pinterest (an image sharing network you either love or hate) it went viral in my network. That hardly ever happens to me – but clearly this stuff is magic…
See a lot more of it here.
What is a blog tour anyway?:
One of my favorite authors, M.J. Rose, is on a blog tour for her new book THE BOOK OF LOST FRAGRANCES (a blog tour is something I find interesting as a thing authors must do these days). She’s guest posting about lost perfumes. Here’s one that I wish I could smell…they say it has the desolate scent of tombs…and is “presented in a flacon resembling a golden sarcophagus…” More here.
