Clock Rewinders (05/12/13)

Clock Rewinders on a Book Binge is the brain child of Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Tara @ 25 Hour Books.  I'm inviting myself to their party (as I sometimes do) because I have so damn much fun reading Amanda's posts that I couldn't help myself.

Globetrotting...

• On Wednesday, I was over at Amanda's blog with a review for Remnants of Magic by S.A. Archer & S. Ravynheart. Collecting the second half of season 1 in order, this gave me a chance to go back and read straight through... which I LOVED!

• Monday - The Pharaoh and the Curator by Sophia Jones
• Tuesday - GLA: Bigfoot Fucks Sisters by Jess Green
• Wednesday - Turned and Bound by Yoli Kim

Check it out!

News from around the blogosphere:

• Amanda and Gaby give us the second part of their ongoing series on (re)Discovering the Basics. This time they're looking at the things that can be added to make a blog easy to navigate
• Kevin Hearne dispenses his wisdom in his trademark witty way - Writing encouragement No. 2.
• Which reminds me... Kevin Hearne took a look at the economics of touring - this time from the bookstore's perspective. I'm immensely grateful that one of the indie stores in my area is able to invest the time and money into bringing authors in. I have met several of my favorites through them and there are several more in the works (Kevin Hearne being one of them!).
• Veronica Rossi has an OUTSTANDING post on how she wrote her books. Beside the fact that she's a doll, I love what she has to say about writing in a vacuum, learning to write with distractions, and that the writing process is ever changing for her.
• The Oatmeal reports the good news that enough money was raised to purchase the land that Nikolai Tesla once had a laboratory on. There might just be a Goddamn Tesla Museum in our future.
• On a more series note, Allie @ Hyperbole and a Half is back with a candid look at depression and how it's not easy pulling yourself out of it. I seriously applaud her willingness to be honest about what she's gone through and I wish her the best of luck in her battle.
  

Here's to a crazy week coming up!
