Fictionwise ain’t quite dead to me yet
It seems Fictionwise is still capable of grabbing my attention, even if a lot of their inventory vanished once the agency model of ebook pricing took effect this past April. This weekend, though, they’re having a big ol’ 50 percent off sale, in effect through Sunday. (Use the coupon ‘spooky2010′.) Turns out several of the…

How much does my To Read list weigh?
I was saying something on the MurkMUSH about how I had 690 things on my To Read list, like I do, and to my amusement technoshaman said that I’d have to look out–or else my To Read list was going to eventually weigh more than I do. I told him I thought it probably already…

Last round (of B&N freebies)
Okay, this should be the last round of freebie ebooks from B&N, I think. They’re throwing out the big guns for this last drop! The Complete Sherlock Holmes, Volume I, by Arthur Conan Doyle The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas (note: this version is abridged) The Iliad, by Homer The Odyssey, by Homer…

One more book update
I’m not sure yet if this is the last round of B&N freebies; the promotion was supposed to run up through the 14th, so I’m thinking there’ll be at least one more round before they’re done. This one I’m particularly happy about though since it includes King Solomon’s Mines, a novel that’s specifically called out…
