It’s time to thank the September advertisers - thank you! Muchas gracias! Toda rabbi! These are the lovely folks who fund hosting, posting, and general shenanigans, and without them, the site wouldn’t be as funky and definitely not as hot pink.

Time to thank the August advertisers - thank you! These are the awesome folks who fund my Epic Postage Budget, hosting fees and various other projects. Without them, this site wouldn’t be as hot pink. I’ve also received email from people asking me to look up an advertisement from a previous month so they could buy the book they saw featured, so here are the advertisers in convenient entry format.

Behold, the excitement! I am containing myself to one exclamation point (not including the title) and that was it. Please appreciate my restraint, here. I have A Pile Of ARCs to give away of my October book, Everything I Know About Love, I Learned from Romance Novels, which so very, very many of you helped create. From the depths of the box on my dining room table currently being fought over by my cats, I have 10 shiny copies to giveaway. But that is Not All. This book is all about the lessons we’ve learned from reading romance novels, and…

I was invited to present a session on romance collections and romance readers at the Connecticut Library Association conference in Stamford this week, and I learned two key things: 1. I was SO wrong 2. Librarians are even more awesome than I thought I figured that at a state-wide conference of librarians from all different types of libraries, which are STAID and QUIET and INSTITUTIONS of QUIET STAID BOOKISHNESS, I had to be formal. I NEEDED PIE CHARTS. And graphs! And sexy numbers with decimal points when talking about romance. Note above: I was SO wrong. Much like romance readers…

Thanks to the many people who spread the word about Beverly Barton’s latest book release on Tuesday. From the comments to the entry, here are the winners Mona Garg Flo Lauren N Rae (@5:53am) I hope her book does stunningly well, and that everyone who has a copy really enjoys it. I also want to highlight this comment from Tricky: This sad event made me realize how very little I do to let my favorite authors know how much I enjoy their work. This past weekend, after reading about Beverly’s death, I wrote several emails to several authors thanking them…

I had a feeling this would come eventually: Amazon announces library lending for the Kindle. Over 11,000 libraries are going to be linked to the Kindle universe “later this year” and according to the press release: Customers will be able to check out a Kindle book from their local library and start reading on any Kindle device or free Kindle app for Android, iPad, iPod touch, iPhone, PC, Mac, BlackBerry, or Windows Phone. If a Kindle book is checked out again or that book is purchased from Amazon, all of a customer’s annotations and bookmarks will be preserved. “We’re doing…

A few links! Because it’s been awhile and my inbox is full of awesome. First, in case you were under a large rock or on vacation like I was, the RITAs and Golden Hearts were announced - and Twitter pretty much exploded about it, too. What do you think? Have you read any of them? I’m pondering reading at least one from every category and challenging myself to get them all done (and reviewed) by the date of the RITA ceremony. Anyone want to take the RITA challenge with me? Over on the Carina Press blog, Angela James has big…
