Required Reading

February 7th, 2011

Every Monday, we’ll post a round up of links of industry news, book reviews and more. Organized into five categories:

Let’s Talk About Me – Book Maven Media is always growing! Here I’ll link to different endeavors that you should know about.

Friends of Bethanne - What are my bookish (and sometimes non-bookish) friends up to? Find out here.

Save Publishing - Book and industry news that you need to know, now!

The Review Revue – A highlight of recent interesting and thought-provoking book reviews.

Culture Vulture – It can’t be all about books, all the time! Here I’ll link to something outside the book world that is relevant and interesting!

Let’s Talk About Me – I was recently interviewed on NPR about Friday Reads! Click here to listen.

Friends of Bethanne - The Super Bowl was yesterday, but all the excitement for me was on Twitter. Writer and musician Roseanne Cash (@roseannecash) posted Super Bowl updates like “One hopes the unfortunate incident involving the lady’s corset is not repeated on this occasion” and “Some ladies are determined to sport bonnets made of cheese. I must take to my bed” with the hashtag #JaneAustenAtTheSuperBowl. Fortunately it caught on. Catch up on all the hilarity here.

Save Publishing - If this “bookshelf porn” from Boing Boing doesn’t make you want to save publishing, I don’t know what will.

Review Revue – Three books about women of many different ages, stages, and eras are getting attention right now. I’ve read each of these and would recommend them all — but not necessarily all to the same woman.

Culture Vulture – The television show Mad Men is everywhere, from award shows to a toned down version on Sesame Street. The real question is why. Daniel Mendelsohn asks and answers this question in this fascinating article.
