The Bodhisattva

After a few weeks off from this feature used to work on launching BookSpot Central, I’m back to regular schedule with my weekly participation with a random group of bloggers to discuss a novel or collection that slipped through the cracks and deserves diggin’ through the crates (or *sigh* more boring, online) to give a [...]

Just wanted to drop a line and point people to the Forgotten Friday the ‘bookspot fam hosted this week that features several mystery authors participating. It’s kind of terrible timing for us with World Con in terms of getting any kind of mixture of participation but it looks to have turned out great though I’m [...]

As I mentioned at the end of my most recent contribution to this feature, this Friday Brian will be managing Forgotten Fridays while Patti is out of town. As some of you may know, it’s basically just bloggers posting a book they think is undermentioned every Friday at their own blog and one central [...]

Time for another one of these damn Forgotten Fridays. Simply put, my weekly contribution to a group of bloggers that  I don’t know that each choose a book that not enough people are talking about that we think are hot. As this is way too easy for me I add the stipulation of not [...]

Time for another Forgotten Friday (a special Friday edition of Forgotten Friday for those in continuity) and I dare say the most disappointing. It seems that  something like the San Diego Comic Con should not be allowed to occur unless I’m in the house, but alas via several reports and press releases, I’m sure that [...]

AIO publishes quality books in more ways than one.  First as physical objects the books are gorgeous, classy, and standout. Second - in terms of the stories themselves - they are gorgeous, classy, and standout. There is no surprise that works by people like Ian R. MacLeod  (The Summer Isles) or Zoran Zivkovic (Seven Touches [...]

It’s Friday again, and again I’m forced to remember something for the greater good; an attempt to either help battle the wackness that is your unimaginative books shelf; a bookshelf bored by your safe habits, a bookshelf that’s contents can define you in single words that are shared by some broad pop culture label, a [...]

Another edition of Forgotten Friday where I join a group of bloggers who recommend a book  every week that slips through the cracks. Now that sounds very straight forward but it’s all lies. One, type in Forgotten Fridays in google right now…
…waits
See me there? I’m a headliner baby, and while I do talk about books [...]

Once again this my weekly contribution to Forgotten Friday.  Basically, A bunch of people I don’t know sharing books that they think have been forgotten. To add a degree of difficulty, I also ignore sweet books that are undermentioned that I already regularly preach about anyway (many of which are mentioned in the intros to [...]

Once again, I’m participating in Forgotten Fridays, an activity summed up by a bunch of people I don’t know telling you about books that have been forgotten. That of course leaves for a lot for definition by all participants, but for me they are book that are not only that in a broader sense by [...]

Second time I’m participating in this (again a group of bloggers choose Friday to highlight a book that should get more cred). I kind of dig it because I can talk about a book in a non-review format and without the stress of having to be awesome. Again, not a review, not lengthy, just a nudge [...]

Over at FBS Brian pointed to some bloggers contributing to a Friday feature highlighting books that may not get as much pub as they should. The different levels or layer of what truly is forgotten or overlooks are substantial. For instance, if talking to some (most) crowds a Zoran Zivkovic would easily qualify, but [...]
