Even More Bookish News
a roundup of links I love
You may have noticed that I did not include the Links I Love segment in my most recent Books Are My People Weekly Newsletter.
After much deliberation, I’ve decided to add Even More Bookish News to this biweekly post for paying subscribers. If you listen to my book recommendation podcast, Books Are My People, you know I have a segment called Bookish News. So this will be a continuation of that. No repeats, I promise!
Alternating Fridays will be The Good Stuff, a blast of everything I’m currently loving.
This week, Even More Bookish News will be available for all subscribers, but moving forward, it will be behind a paywall. If you are thinking of becoming a paying member, in addition to these posts you will have access to other perks like my Read with Me series (including voting rights for which book we select) beginning in January as well as an Ask Me Anything segment, a one-time curated book recommendation list, my undying gratitude and other perks in the works (I like how that rhymes.)
So, without further ado….

Thinking about setting a short story or novel in L.A.? Check out the L.A. Library blog about doing research. I’m thinking of setting my next novel in L.A. just so I can take advantage of all of this sage advice. Plus, I actually do live in L.A.
What Makes Some Books Feel Too Long?
I listened, did you listen? Michelle Williams talks about her experience narrating Britney Spears’s audiobook, The Woman in Me.
