I’ve been looking for a couple more “summer fiction” titles to cram in before the Fall gets here. You know the type… beach-worthy titles that just push you through a quick story.
Well, I found them over at BookChase. His latest review sold me Dan Ronco’s two books. Thank goodness for the blogoshpere. I was spending waaaaaaay too much time looking for some good mind candy.
I was cruising through the AL.com Book Forum last night and ran across a new book blog in town, Breaking the Spine. I have to say I enjoyed flipping through all the posts and reading all the questions she poses to her readers. Might be fun to keep up with this one!
Last night, I finished Zittrain’s The Future of the Internet and How to Stop It. Interesting read, but waaaaay too long (I have started reading his blog though). You can tell it has the academic slant to it. What passes as a “full review” here on {head}:sub/head is up over at LibraryThing.

This is a great locally owned shop. The small storefront is misleading as the shop meanders back a good bit, making room for tons of new books and t-shirts. This general interest bookstore covers all of the major subject area and has a neat children’s area in the back. All with big comfy chairs to sit in and peruse some pages. The owners also do a good job of booking interesting local and regional authors that other stores might not make the time to host.
