Weekly Link Round-Up (April 27)

Here's what I was reading last week.

Book Sites

I visit three non-commercial book sites on a regular basis. Most of you will know about them, but if not, be sure to check them out.
⇒ For mystery lovers, don't miss Stop, You're Killing Me. This a great resource for titles, authors, and subgenres of mysteries.
⇒ For fiction of all sorts, try Fantastic Fiction, which is a great place to find authors and lists of all their works.
⇒ I go to World Cat any time I want to find details about a book: ISBN, editions, formats, translations, and more. (Note: you do not need to sign in to use the site.)

If there is a must-see general book site you visit on a regular basis, please let me know.

Reviews

I've been meaning to read The Uglies by Scott Westerfeld; now I think I'll have to read it soon. Jen at Devourer of Books was not sure it'd live up to the hype, but here's what she said: "Unlike with 'Twilight,' where I kept reading because I felt I had to, I’m going to continue reading this series because I want to."

Nely at All about {n} reviewed The Late Lamented Molly Marx by Sally Koslow. The premise of this is great: Molly is in limbo after her death and she can hear people's thoughts. Nely said: "I absolutely—hands down—adored this book. I thought Molly was such a lovely narrator."

Interview and Guest Post

Shelly at Write for a Reader does the best interviews, and this week she talked to two authors of the Horse Diaries series for young readers. Each book is the series is about a different horse in a different time period. Sounds like a great idea. Don't miss the interview.

Meghan of Medieval Bookworm has a guest post with Laurie Brown the author of What Would Jane Austen Do? This isn't your ordinary guest post: Brown mentions Dewey's Read-a-thon! Come see what else Brown has to say about her book and about time travel.

Blogwarming

Here's a super idea: Carrie of Books and Movies moved her blog (you know this because you read my link-up post last week!). This week, she's giving away six fabulous books as part of her blogwarming celebration. Don't miss out, there's a great selection.
