A Pocketful of Books

Yesterday, JK Rowling came down from her mountain and announced the new date for Harry Potter VI. July 16th. The booksellers rejoiced and there was good tidings of great joy amid booksellers and readers alike. Instantly the tome shot to Number 1 on Amazon and the stockmarket bounced as well. It was a nice Christmas present to all in the biz. We at this household will be eagerly awaiting the new release, just like everyone else in the free world.

According to Publishers Weekly, holiday bookshopping is doing mildly better this week. Go out there and do your part. Buy a book, give a book, read a book.

And if you're in the market for free books, might I suggest dropping by www.pocketauthors.com where there will be a drawing for a HUGE basket of books by the Pocket authors. Sign up for the mailing list and you'll automatically be entered. Drawing is to be held at the end of January, but we'll be having a drawing at the end of every month.

And speaking of drawings, the winner of my diva basket is Kat Mayo.

That's all in today's book news. And Happy Reading!
Kathleen
