Daily Thoughts 04/03/2013

I checked the libraries Twitter and Facebook this morning.   I also finished reading Publishing Ebooks for Dummies.  Ali Luke describes blogging to promote books as well as how to do online interviews on blogs. 

I checked the displays this morning, checked the gift books, and spent a lot of time reading book reviews.  I was on vacation last week, so I had a lot of material to read.  I put the book Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation  by Michael Pollan on hold.  I like Michael Pollan's writing style.

I checked out the book, The Labyrinth of Dreaming Books A Novel by Walter Moers.  It is a mix of fantasy, humorous illustration, and bibliographic obsession.  It should be entertaining.

I still have a copy of Forecast to read.
