Weekly Link Round-Up


Gorgeous weather here in Phoenix, and I'd rather enjoy it than talk about it, so let's see what kind of goodies I have lined up for you this week!

Non-Bookish, But Can't Beat the Aw Factor

  • If you're a sucker for baby animals like I am, check out Zoo Borns.
Bookish News
Social Media and Blogging Tips
Around the Water Cooler in the Book Blogosphere
  • You have until Thursday, November 12, to sign up for the Book Blogger Holiday Swap!
  • Jackie of Farm Lane Books wants to know if leaders make better bloggers?
  • Nicole of Linus's Blanket has a wonderful series on Blog Talk Radio, That's How I Blog! This week's guest was Kathy of Bermuda Onion's Weblog.
  • Beth of Beth Fish Reads has a great new feature called Weekend Cooking. Its rules are relaxed enough for grouches like me. I need to get myself in gear to share some of my favorite slow cooker recipes--the perfect sort of cooking for bookaholics!
  • At home with a good book and the cat... shocked me to the core. Did you know that Harriet Klausner has given some two- and three-star book reviews at Amazon???
  • Lezlie of Books and Border Collies talks about the Joys of Reading Challenges.
New to My Google Reader
That's it for this week. I hope you've found something to tickle your fancy. Stop by next Sunday when I'll have a brand-new batch of links for your surfing pleasure!

  2. Thanks for the Larsson link to the Guardian I had missed that.
    I hope if the material on the laptop is ever published they don't employ another writer to expand it but just publish the raw stuff. That will be more interesting.

  7. Blodeuedd--Yes, Glue. It's a lot of fun and you can see how many friends/ bloggers are looking at the same books you are-- as well as movies, music, etc.

    Uriah-- You're welcome. I agree. I think the raw material would be more interesting than having another writer work on it.

    Susan-- You betcha! They're so homely they're cute!

    Louise-- I didn't think it was possible...Harriet? 2 star reviews? Wow!

    Lezlie-- You're welcome!

    Margot JR-- You're welcome!

    Jackie-- You're welcome! You had some excellent discussion in the comments as well.

  8. Thanks so much for the linkage! As always you manage to find some great sites and posts. I like those great Twitter buttons and the new to me blogs. I missed Lezlie's post and iPulp Fiction. Thanks for giving me lots to read.

  9. I am always impressed that your links come from fresh sources on a regular basis. You keep some of the strong stand-bys (like ProBlogger) but always mix in what to me seem like random sources. And there is always good content. Big round of applause for your efforts!

    Molly/Andy-- Okay. Someone get out the hat pin. My head's all swelled up! (Thanks!) :)
