Around The Bookish World: Week-In-Review

Welcome to this week’s edition of our news in the Bookish world. For this week we have news from upcoming movie and tv adaptations, Books on Board closing their doors for the time being, and Romantic Times award winners and much more news!

First up, a heads-up for those who have bought and have ebooks on their shelves at Books at Board, last Sunday, they announced they are temporarily closing and re-structuring due to financial issues because of changes stemming from Agency pricing which has harmed their sales. This is a huge shame because Books on Board use to be my go place to get ebooks when I first adopted an ereader but this will allow more customers to choose from the bigger sites like Amazon or Kobo and we as readers and publishers need more indies selling because it helps with competition. There is also an irony that Books on Board …

Guest Post by Jennifer Ryan + Giveaway

Welcome, book lovers! Today we’re pleased to have author Jennifer Ryan visit BLI. Her lastest release, Lucky Like Us, is now available from Avon Impulse. She stops by today to talk a bit about the book’s characters, their unexpected adventures, and exciting paths to love. Please show her a warm BLI welcome (and check out the end of the post for giveaway info!).

. . . .

We all have stress in our lives and deal with it in different ways. Book lovers curl up in their favorite comfy chair with a novel and lose themselves in another world. Some people sweat it out at the gym, or hike or bike ride in the great outdoors. Others veg out on the couch with a yummy snack, watching their favorite show. Maybe you set your mind to a task that you can get lost in, like knitting, gardening, or playing …

We are happy to welcome back to BLI Alex Hughes, author of the dark urban fantasy series featuring an ex-addict telepath hero, and she stops by today to tell you about Sharp, the second book in her Mindspace Investigations series. Please give her a warm welcome and answer the question at the end to win Clean, the first book in the series, that I liked a lot! 😀 

Behind the Scenes Secret Revelation Post: the Making of Sharp
by Alex Hughes

They say there are two things you don’t want to see made: sausage and laws. I’d add a third to the list: a second book in a series.

When we sold Clean and knew there would be a second book, I found myself in the interesting position of having to write a book on a deadline, something I’d never done before. …
