NOTICE!

For some reason I can add sidebars, but not new posts. Please check back later. I have been working on a variety of things including switching my blog soon from this one, which was set up with my now-defunct West Wisconsin Telcom account. I hope to have my new blog through Gmail up soon. I will provide a link and announcement when I've got everything straight. 7/2/11

Google book search




A recent article in Artella’s Daily Muse (http://www.artelladailymuse.com/ ) explained how to use Google Book Search. I wasn’t familiar with this book search function. When I want to read online reviews, I would usually go to Amazon or to http://www.habitualreader.com/ . This whole concept of Google’s, however, is pretty interesting. You can browse through which books are most popular, search for specific books or subjects, read reviews, create your own collection, and post reviews. This is a fascinating look into what is being read, and what readers’ reactions are. I think of it as highbrow eavesdropping! To check it out, visit http://books.google.com/.

Archaeology and Irish music! what a combination. That would make a great mystery hook. Love your blog, Erica. Am just now getting around to reading all the wonderful stuff you have here.
