If you live in South Florida, or are planning on visiting, please check out the Florida UpdateLots of great author signings coming up like Lisa Unger, Lisa See, Joe Scarborough and many more. And if you're interested in learning more about Florida authors, check out the new Florida Authors Wiki.

I put a little time into FaceBook, please add me as a friend if you haven't already! Feel free to follow me on Twitter. Don't forget MySpace and CrimeSpace, I'm on there too.  And Good Reads. And LibraryThing, which is probably the only one really worth investing any time into - it's a place to create a catalog of your books, a personal library if you will.  You can keep it private, or share it and see who else reads what you read.  It's completely fabulous, free if you want to limit the number of books you catalog; 200 books are free.  Or very reasonably priced to go hog wild - list as many as you want for $10 a year, or the best deal of all, $25 for a lifetime membership.  Only problem is I don't know where I'm going to find the time to keep up with it all...but I will. 

Lots of new stuff in the BookBitchBlog -  Ayelet Waldman is giving away five copies of her latest, BAD MOTHER; author Beth Groundwater reports on Mayhem in the Midlands & how to win her books, Janice Lieberman teaches how to shop for a husband, and check out my interview with John Hart, author of NY Times bestseller The Last Child, one of my favorite books this year, and lots more.

Looking for a gift for the reader in your life?  Consider visiting the BookBitch Online Store.  Get a T-shirt, tank top, coffee cup or even a bookbag like Janet did - then she had it signed by all her favorite thriller writers at ThrillerFest!

Welcome. I'm so glad you've found me.  I've had a life long love affair with books and this is my opportunity to pay homage to the written word.  

This is a forum for any and all information regarding the printed matter bound between cloth or paper, or even read aloud.  I offer reviews -  lots of reviews - as well as lists of reviewers' favorite books each year, and links to various websites extolling the virtues and practicalities of reading groups, the publishing industry, writers, and booksellers. This is a constantly evolving work in progress.  I welcome constructive criticism, ideas, suggestions and/or feedback of any kind.

Peruse and enjoy!

In memory of my beloved mother, Selma Kapson, 1934-2008
