Links: Libro.fm, Special Editions, & More

Welcome back!

How are we doing? I always feel like August is so…boring. Apologies to all the August babies out there; it is not a reflection on you!

I do have some vacay planned soon and I definitely plan to prioritize pool times and nap times with some sweet treat times in between. It’s going to be the calm before the storm before I enter my third trimester and our litany of classes, nesting tasks, etc. begins.

Ebooks are coming to Libro.fm! There doesn’t appear to be an official launch time, but they are offering a syncing feature if you own both the ebook and audiobook versions of a book. That honestly sounds pretty neat.

Salty Girl Books is a very cute moble book truck serving coastal communities in Delaware in Maryland. Thanks to Lace for sending this link to us.

I saw this “vintage book box” being advertised, which sends out special paperback editions with vintaged-style, clinch covers. It’s a neat concept, but Sarah and I did have a brief discussion that “vintage” feels like a misnomer here. Also, I tend to associate clinch covers with historicals, and most of the books featured appear to be contemporary. What are your thoughts?

But speaking of vintage book boxes, I wouldn’t mind shelling out a subscription for a mystery box of old skool titles sourced from secondhand shops with classic covers and step backs.

The author of McSweeney’s “Things I Hope People Would Say at My Funeral” feels like a kindred spirit.
