Top Bookish News of the Past Week

Almost every day I read interesting stories, see funny pictures, read great blog posts, and more that deal with the publishing industry and books in general. I've decided to post anything book related that I find interesting for the week on a weekly Sunday post. So here is my first post! All the titles are linked up to their respective articles/blog posts.

• I couldn't believe it, even though I am fascinated by this library robot, and the amount of books that are stored there, I also am a little sad. I like to see the actual book on the shelf when I go to pick it up at the library. What does this mean for the future?
