Did you know August is Read-A-Romance Month?

Celebrate Harry Potter's birthday by reading why Harry Potter is awesome! Oh and don't forget that it was Neville's birthday too!

This list of hilarious horrible bookish event ideas will have you laughing till your side hurts.

Have you heard of BookVibe? It just popped up in my Twitter newsfeed, or at least I just now noticed it, apparently you can put in your twitter handle on their site and they will give you a list off all the books your followers are tweeting about. I find this to be pretty darn cool.

All of the new Harry Potter covers have been released! You have to read this awesome post. It compares the covers side by side to the old ones and shows what the amazingly awesome box set will look like. I already own these books but I'm obviously going to need to buy them again with the new covers.

I'm not the only one that judges a book by its cover. This article discusses the importance of a good book cover and how indie book covers are getting better and better. I'll admit that if a cover doesn't look professional or well made I'll pass that book on by.

Are you a Bridget Jones fan? If so, then you may want to read this to see what the next book in the franchise will be titled. There is even an excerpt from the new book. I enjoyed the books and were good for a few laught, but they weren't great. What about you?

Do you ever buy an ebook almost solely because it is only 99 cents or some other great deal? I don't normally do this unless the book looks really promising, but I mean it is only a dollar so if I don't like it I didn't lose much. If you think this is an interesting topic you should read One-Day Deals Making E-Books Bestsellers. 

A 5-year-old girl read 875 books during the school year. I give this girl one big round of applause. I love seeing young kids that really love to read. Read the article about her and see how cool this is!

Patti has a post up this week over at Parajunkee about Barnes and Noble and how they should really have better pricing because online deals are so much better than what they offer in the store. This is a nice well written and thoughtful post that I agree with.
