Kindle launches and other things

Wow! It has been a bit of a busy week on Kindle ebook promo for my novella Arrivals. The launch party was last night, and I did a guest blog about it for Guardian Cardiff. Hop on over to my journalism etcetera blog Wildlife to find out more on that sort of thing: http://susiewild.blogspot.com/

It all seemed to go well in the end. 

In book terms... My research book pile is reducing as I have been reading them. I've also been devouring fiction, especially short form like All My Friends Are Superheroes by Andrew Kaufman and Anthropology by Dan Rhodes. I've also just finished reading A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan which was accomplished but not quite deserving of all the hype, aka 4 stars, although the PowerPoint chapter was impressively effective, especially so to me, as I get more and more fascinated with the power of brevity. Probably appropriate that The Collected Stories of Lydia Davies is next in my reading pile then. On my Kindle (!) I've downloaded Super Sad True Love Story by Gary Shteyngart after reading this review in The Guardian.

    I've just finished A Visit from the Goon Squad too - I really enjoyed it, but agree it's a four star'er, the last chapter I found quite odd too...
