Link Round Up

Online Shoppers Are Rooting for the Little Guy In regards to books, this is a great development.

The 50 books every child should read This is a fantastic resource for parents, or for anyone who buys books for children.

YA novel readers clash with publishing establishment This was bound to happen. Honestly, the publishing establishment needs to suck it up and realize the world has changed. Not everyone is going to give glowing reviews because they happen to get free stuff.

30 most-anticipated books of 2012 This list is a tad late. However, Toni Morrison? WHOOOOOOHOOOO!

A Case Against Reading the Classics In the interest of full disclosure, I have submitted an application to be a World Book Night giver. With that being said, teaching the love of reading is far more important than teaching the cannon. I've read plenty of books in the cannon, some were fantastic others were terrible. We have moved on from reading a set of books to determine if a person is well read.

The Pace Of The Publishing Industry Sully is having a great debate.

A Badass Guide to YA Books A wonderful guide.

Banning A Book Won't Stop Bigotry Lets stop blaming books for turning people into assholes. People chose to be assholes and then seek out literature to justify it.

Eat Your Books A search engine for cookbooks. I know people who have hundreds. This is a great tool for them.
