Links: Podcasts, Nora Roberts, & Colson Whitehead

It’s the last Wednesday in February! Where has this month gone? Seriously! Hope everyone has been having a good week. I have a major book hangover this morning, so I know I’ll be spending a lot of time starting listlessly at my TBR pile.

Lastly, if you have access to Hoopla through your library, IDW’s Love is Love anthology is available to patrons. Each borrow helps raise money for Equality Florida.

Hoopla Digital – a Netflix-like service that partners with libraries across North America, will be the first digital service to bring IDW’S Love is Love to library cardholders for free and in turn, will contribute to Equality Florida via borrows of the comic.

Starting today, patrons of participating libraries can use the hoopla digital app to access Love is Love right on their mobile devices. With this historic collection, the unique 144-page anthology features some of the most iconic characters in pop culture including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and even Harry Potter. Since debuting in comic books shops and bookstores in December, Love is Love has quickly risen to #1 on best-seller lists.
