Oh, can you get books straight from Gutenberg over 3G? You can`t I bet, huh?
Try navigating to this mobile site: [link] on your Nook. It should work.
Nice acronym, Mom!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Only I can`t do web over the 3g, right? The point of me stumping up the extra dosh was so I didn`t have to use my cellular modem bandwidth over wifi to get my books. Only I forgot I wouldn`t be buying most of my books from the BN store. Well, it should arrive today. We`ll see; I`ll play with it. Better go check my tracking status like the obsessive person I am. I mean, it could technically have arrived already, though I know by experience it`ll be more like 7 since I`m so far out here.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
There was an article in the paper this week about a group of kids - early teens, I believe - who read and review books for publishers. Seemingly, they take it very seriously and put real effort into their reviews.
And - to show that they DO know what they're doing - one of them read the Hunger Games and went around telling friends how awesome it was.

Because books.
My mom saw Mockingjay on my desk, and said, "So where did I hear about these books?" I said, "Everywhere, Mom."
This is a sad story. I'd never heard of Barbara Follett.

I've never heard of her either, how sad. It looks like her book is out of print and I can't find a copy for less than $190.

“Not dead yet!”
Amy, I was totally bragging on you in a twitter chat tonight. Question was being asked about upcoming zombie YA and I was like "OOH OOOH, I know one and it's AWESOME!"

Aw, thank you! I'm a little worried readers will be disappointed, since he's not really *that* kind of zombie, but we'll see, I guess!

Wow. I'm not quite that interested. A library somewhere must have one, though, right? I wonder what the second book was about.

I HAVE SAM!
Finally went through my vacation mail... and it works out since I still have to send my parents their Xmas package since they couldn't make it with mom's pneumonia and likely cracked/sprained/pulled rib and dad's later plague.

Hopefully, because now I am curious but not that curious. Plus, that works well with my plan to buy less books in 2011. Notice how I didn't say stop buying books.

Well, that WOULD be crazy talk.
