the book cover archive: an archive of book cover designs for the purpose of appreciation and categorization. this site is insane. i could spend hours and hours here, reveling in all of the gorgeousness.
i want to work here: graywolf press, hometown heroes.
megan wilson! holy gesundheit! bill hader, the impressionist from snl, was on late night with jimmy fallon a while back, and at one point, he slipped into a sort of accidental impression of a television writer, before realizing that he was doing an impression of somebody whom no one else would possibly recognize. awesome. this is a little how i feel about megan wilson and her incredible book covers.

i am intrigued by the penguin blog. not totally convinced, but intrigued. and this just rocks.
have i mentioned my love for salon's literary guide to the world? some of the essays and suggestions are a little uninspired (mordecai richler is the best they could come up with for montreal? really?), and there are a lot more places i'd like to see represented, but the feature is still getting on its feet, and i'm completely loving the concept.
editorial anonymous was like porn for me when i worked in publishing.

i'm also on goodreads. so far i've been using it mostly for personal organization - keeping track of what i've read, what i want to read, recommendations, categories - which is good enough for me, though i'm always looking for friends. any takers?
"For some reason this summer feels especially Anne of Green Gables to me, and all I want to do is plop down with Rainbow Valley and Rilla of Ingelside and think about the Pied Piper and the War Effort and weep." another summer manifesto from amanda at first milk.
