The following is a cautionary tale… November 2007 I welcomed the world to my new Bookbound website and blog. Unfortunately, I failed to do what everyone who acquires a new domain name should do. That is, check to make sure that your clever, well chosen name is not already trademarked. This past March, I was [...]
Spotted this on The Boston Bibliophile book blog. Thought I would keep it going. Tag you’re it! 1. Hardback, trade paperback or mass market paperback? Definitely trade paperback. Cheaper and bag stuff able. 2. Barnes & Noble or Borders? Neither. Around here (Seattle/Bellevue) there are too many good independents. If I had to choose [...]

See everyone in a couple of weeks. Fore!
First I have to thank Tracy at BookroomReviews.com for hosting a great book give away carnival (my first).

I hope it isn’t the word ‘review’. Websters defines ‘a review’ as an essay or article that gives a critical evaluation [...]

It seems like everyone in the country is either off on vacation or glued to the television watching the Olympic games. I thought it the perfect time for me to take a few weeks off from blogging books and recharge myself and my site for the upcoming book season. Enjoy the rest of these lazy, [...]
By far the best part of attending BlogHer 2008 in San Francisco was the networking. Oh I liked the “geeky-girlie” stuff where I could get all my techie questions answered and I liked the “birds of a feather” break out sessions (this is where you meet up with other women of your same age or [...]
