Around the Horn: Highlights From Other Blogs I Read

Similar to my FFL last week, Michelle L. links to another article slamming the impact of the Potter books. If you're going to buy her book, don't buy it for half price at a supermarket. As an example of a world gone mad, you couldn't do much better than this: a writer whose sales have […]
