As of late last night, my last guest post went up over at LitKicks. Although informative, it's also a pretty funny (I think) spin on some of the shenanigans that go on when publishers acquire authors.
Not much has been going on around here because I have been participating in the ongoing LitKicks discussion: "Does Literary Fiction Suffer from Dysfunctional Pricing?" For this round, Levi has asked me to create a series of guest posts in order to provide readers with a glimpse at the financial workings of a fantasy publishing company. The first post went up a few minutes ago, so please head on over and check it out.
Has it really been ten days since I last posted? Time moves too quickly.
Speaking of quick, Dearly Devoted Dexter
was a fast, fun read. The first in the series, Darkly Dreaming Dexter
was pushed on me by someone whose previous recommendation made me roll my eyes through 400+ pages of re-packaged thriller cliches. Although I was skeptical, Dexter turned out to be enough of a pleasant surprise to make me want to read the second in the series and make a mental note to watch for the third
's paperback release.
In contrast, my current book progresses slowly. Since our Remainder
discussion will be reenacted this month, it's fitting for me to be rereading the book. I speculated I might not enjoy it as much on a second go-through, but I was wrong. When I read it the first time, I plowed through in only a few days because I was excited about getting to the ending. Now, however, I'm moving more slowly to capture some of what I missed...much in the same way the unnamed narrator slows down certain scenes.
Want to post something. Can't come up with anything. So, just this...
My current book is Dearly Devoted Dexter by Jeff Lindsay. What are you reading?
