I just read that Frank Wilson is leaving the Philadelphia Inquirer… tomorrow! His blog was the second one I ever read. I still remember my first ‘hat tip’ regarding news about some lit prizes. His reliable posts and comments have been fun to try and keep up with.

I’m hoping that Wilson will continue vetting the best and worst of book-inspired links for all of us, somewhere online.
