Has anyone noticed the seeming plethora of new titles being published about BOOKS?
It seems like everywhere you turn, another fiction title has been published that concerns itself with bookstores and/or books.
Or is it just me, exposed to too much second-hand smoke? A "hearty handclasp"* to anyone who can predict the next fad. *W.C. Fields (The Bank Dick) ADDED: I feel there's also a revival taking place in the sword & sorcery field, which is one of my favorite sub-genres. Last edited by Dr. Drib; 08-18-2023 at 07:39 AM. |

Beware the Left-handed Booksellers of London and The Sinister Booksellers of Bath.
I read the first, so I don't need to read the sequel. It's been going on for a while: The Never Ending Story Inkscape Or do you mean books on how to write or sell books? I've some of those going back to 1930s. No-one ever knows the next fad. |

I mostly ignore the Fantasy field because for the most part I am uninterested in yet another High Fantasy or Urban Fantasy |

movie Personally I thought Sindy was a more wholesome toy doll than Barbie. My sister cut open the boot on Sindy's red sports car for my brother's Action Man's weapon and bag. They also squeezed into a small tent together. AM & S, not my siblings. Our tent was big enough for all three of us, but the candle on Sindy's cooker set the tent on fire. Not Action Man's tent, but our tent. The boy from down the street woke my parents; "The tent is on fire and they are in it!" Of course my panicked parents found the 3 of us and the alarming lad's sister quite unsinged and staring at the ashes. I don't remember were Action Man and Sindy where that morning. The door never closed properly on the plastic cooker after that. Last edited by Quoth; 08-18-2023 at 11:23 AM. Reason: film -> movie. Only one guy in the world makes films still. |

No, I meant only fiction titles - there seem to be so many newly-published titles lately. |

Oh, and a Play Doh movie.
Not sure why they want movies of Peppa Pig, Transformers and My Little Pony too as they are already TV series that sell the toys, books and games. |

I have noticed it lately on Kobo, just on their daily deals, a.k.a. ebook savings, though today I only see two: The Littlest Library and Murder at the Bookstore. In a couple of others, a library plays a role, though it's not in the title: Booked for Murder ("Her new life as a librarian suits her") and The Dark Archive (an Invisible Library novel). |
