The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?
Welcome to a new week of The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me? This week’s topic pretty much jumped at our feet! It’s by pure chance that I saw a pretty review copy of Fool Moon on Netgalley and I knew I had to read it! I just couldn’t look away from such a pretty cover. So it was only logical that we would start talking about graphic novel covers with you today! We chose covers of series we know and loved/hated.
Susi: The Dresden cover is awesome. When I compare that to the usual old Dresden covers- let’S say it’s just wow. I have never read any of the Dresden books so I can’t say iof the guy fits the descriptions but well this cover …

The We-Are-Moving Winner Post
Hey Everyone!
This is our last winner post here on Blogger. Yes, you might have heard the rumour that we are moving, yes we are to move to WordPress next week! Our bags are packed, the blog is saved but we are still a bit scared and hoping that it will be a smooth transition, so from next Thursday until Sunday there will be no new posts on BLI as we’ll be busy hauling (at least virtually) all our content to the new place, but come Monday November 28th, we’ll be back with some more shiny and exciting changes, so make sure to stop by our virtual house warming party! 😀
ps. This also means that there will be no Winner Post next week, all our remaining giveaways have been extended by 1 week, they will end on December 3rd, so make sure to enter before that!
So in our last Blogger winner …
Around the Bookish World: News Week-in-Review
Welcome to this week’s news post and it has been pretty quiet in the publishing news front, but we do have some exciting links and trailers such as the full Hunger Games trailer that actually looks good!
A few weeks ago I reported that Amazon had launched a lending library amongst its Prime customers for the Kindle. Well it looks like that the Authors Guild is unhappy with this new development because of the issue of royalties and a breach of contract of sales. However none of the Big Six publishers are involved with this scheme and the smaller and independent publisher’s have refused to join the Author’s Guild complaints about boycotting this venture. I think this is disagreement is going to run and run, but I do hope there will be a resolution to this.

Life is rough when you’re gorgeous, rich, talented and so sexy that the media won’t leave you alone.
It’s certainly the truth in Christian Lasher’s case. He returns to the neighborhood of his childhood to escape the spotlight, hungering for a change in his creative endeavors. In the midst of his soul searching he meets Megan and is captured by the tantalizing hint of her hidden fires. Megan knows nothing about his wild, rebellious youth or his career as a rock star—and Christian would prefer to keep it that way.
There was much, much more to her than the role of a fragile victim.
Megan Shreve is a sculptor with creative depths and passions that tragedy had forced into …
