I've been reading a book on Tolkien that just casually references practically all of Tolkien's work with no context. I admit I have no idea who these people even are.

Excited for this ARC! It doesn't read like a romantasy to me, however. More of a reflective book with an aging sorceress wondering if she can be forgiven for the ways she has used her powers.

For my "reviving Pinterest" experiment, yesterday we got 45 views from Pinterest. Normally we get about 25. I'm not sure if this was a one-time deal, or if views will actually start to go up now.

I haven't heard anything about this new Harper Lee book except from a B&N email. Is it controversial like Go Set a Watchman?

Kirkus is so funny. There's one sentence in this that is an actual review of the book.

In 2019, I reviewed THE BESTSELLER CODE, and I wrote in my review the authors determined that books about sex don't really become bestsellers. I wonder what they would make of the current smut-heavy romantasy trend.

I had not even heard of this until I just saw it on the B&N website, so I must ask again: Where is all the marketing these days??

The most recent book I read not only had Parts 1, 2, and 3 but also a chapter called "The Inciting Incident" and a character who remarked when the denouement was happening.
It's middle grade, so it was just going for a quirky tone doing that. But, seriously, why are so many books in labeled parts?
