- New releases: Fiction Vixen (romance)
- Book and publishing news from Dear Author.
- Probably the biggest news of the past week was that Goodreads started deleting bookshelves and book reviews that referenced author behavior. (What an interesting way to kick off Banned Books Week, Goodreads!) Some are trying out Booklikes as a possible replacement for Goodreads.
- Should JK Rowling have made it more clear throughout the Harry Potter books that Dumbledore was gay?

Reading Update
An Eagle River Christmas by Lee Pulaski. ebook. Too much telling/info-dumping kept me distanced from the story.
The Trouble with Hairy (West Hollywood Vampires #2) by Hal Bodner. ebook. There wasn’t anything wrong with the book itself. I just realized, about a quarter into it, that I really can’t read gruesomely detailed horror anymore, as it leaves me feeling physically ill.
