Sunday Morning Book Thread 07-14-2013: Creepy Crawly [OregonMuse]
OK, so I picked up Sabrina Chase's new book last week, a collection of short stories entitled The Bureau of Substandards Annual Report. The BoS is a secret government administrative agency that deals with the occasional paranormal incursions, both sentient and not-so-sentient, into our space-time continuum. Think Men in Black, only without so much Tommy Lee Jones. And a lot more bureaucracy. The loosely-connected stories are humorous and whimsical and very entertaining. Ms. Chase also e-mailed to inform me of another venue for indie/self-published authors to plug their books: Thought the Horde might be interested (especially author Morons). PJ Media is starting up a "Book Plug Friday" post for indie writers, hosted by Sarah Hoyt and Charlie Martin. Authors are invited to send a short plug for their books (one plug per book). So there you are.

Lady Selina Shirley was the daughter of Washington Shirley, second earl Ferrers...she had a distant cousin in America: George Washington, to whom she decided to write about her plans for a mission to the Native Americans... This is from the Amazon blurb for Markham S. Pyle's book Benevolent Designs: The Countess and the General: George Washington, Selina Countess of Huntingdon, their correspondence, & the evangelizing of America which the author e-mailed to inform me has just been released and is available on Kindle. Mr. Pyle is also the co-author of When That Great Ship Went Down: the legal and political repercussions of the loss of RMS Titanic which I mentioned in a book thread a while back. ___________ Zimmerman Update: Of course you know there had to be one of these:
___________ So that's all for this week. As always, book thread tips, suggestions, rumors, and insults may be sent to OregonMuse, Proprietor, AoSHQ Book Thread, at aoshqbookthread, followed by the 'at' sign, and then "gee mail", and then dot you-know-what. What have you all been reading this week? Hopefully something good, because, as we all know, life is too short to read lousy books | Recent Comments
