Have you seen Matchbook.nu? Very clever! 
The Estella Society is a new book blogging community. 
The tagline: A reading playground by book bloggers, for book bloggers. Sounds interesting hmm? 
The Historical Novel Society is a literary society devoted to promoting the enjoyment of historical fiction. This site has a fantastic amount of information.

 Gore Vidal died yesterday at the age of 86. Here is a hilarious list of Mr. Vidal’s quotes.  
I’m partial to #13:
“You hear all this whining going on, ‘Where are our great writers?’ The thing I might feel doleful about is: Where are the readers?” – from Esquire, 2008
Have a great Wednesday and as always, Happy Reading!!

  1. Thanks for the links. I was really saddened when I heard about the passing of Gore Vidal. We really lost a great mind. The Estella society looks very promising I really hope that it takes off.Matchbook.nu is smart and funny. I wonder how much time it took to find the combinations!
