Bookish links for Saturday, June 13, 2009
Posted By CarrieK on June 13, 2009
Author links:
~ Neil Gaiman gives us some ideas for summer reading.
~ Serena at Savvy Verse & Wit has a guest post by Gail Graham, author of Sea Changes, which is excellent.
~ Lilly at Reading Extravaganza has an interview with Barbara Quick, author of Vivaldi’s Virgins.
~ Shelly at Write for a Reader has a guest post on teenage anxiety by Dr. Jennifer Austin Leigh, author of Laid or Loved? The Secrets Guys Wish You Knew About Being a Dream Girl Instead of a Just-In-His-Jeans Girl.
~ Jen at Devourer of Books has a guest post by Katherine Howe, author of The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane.
~ Vulpes Libris has an interview with Rosy Thornton, author of Crossed Wires – which I loved. The interview is from February, but I just found it. Ms. Thornton also wrote a wonderfully witty guest post, Books Should Be Books, last year.
Book trailers:
~ Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict by Laurie Viera Rigler.
Discussion starters:
~ Belle at Ms. Bookish asks How Do You Keep on Top of Your Blog Reading? As someone whose Google Reader frequently reaches more than 500 unread posts, I was interested in some of the ideas in the comments.
~ Amy at My Friend Amy wants to know: Who’s Your Oprah? Is there someone whose book recommendations you instantly sit up and take notice of?
Giveaways:
~ Jennifer at The Literate Housewife Review is giving away a copy of Admission by Jean Hanff Korelitz to someone who would like to read and review and tweet about it along with her.
~ Sheri at A Novel Menagerie is giving away a copy of The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff.
~ Julie at Booking Mama has a guest post by author Marisa de los Santos – she’s also giving away three copies of her novel, Belong to Me.
~ Julie also has a guest post by Rachel Renee Russell, author of The Dork Diaries: Tales From a Not-So-Fabulous Life – and she’s giving away a copy of the book and a prize pack that any tween-aged girl would drool over.
~ Girls Just Reading is giving away a copy of The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe.

Interesting links. I don’t have an Oprah – someone who says this book is good so I’ll read it. I don’t know whether that’s sad or not.
Wow,
I am a new visitor and this info is awesome. Really helpful! Thanks

Robin – I get most of my book recommendations from fellow bloggers, my best friend, and my sisters!
Terry – thanks for stopping by.
Thanks for the shout out!
Sheri – you’re welcome.
Thanks for the link back to my post. Wouldn’t you know it, after getting all those suggestions, I haven’t had any time to implement anything and now am even further behind! Maybe it’s just a never-ending thing and I need to accept that.
Belle – you’re welcome! And I know what you mean – my Google Reader has over 900 unread items in it right now – and no time to clear it in sight…
Thanks for the link love! I appreciate it. That guest post was excellent.
Serena – you’re welcome!
