Waterstones half price offer

Waterstones.com is offering 400 selected book titles at "up to" (the previous two words in tiny type) half price, until 5 November. Check it out at the link -- but I recommend a price comparison against Amazon before ordering (or even comparing with WHS, who at the moment have a "buy any book get another half price" offer in their shops).

The discounted books are sorted into categories: the rather measly 13 crime-fiction offers include The Chicago Way by Michael Harvey at £6.99; Master of the Delta by Thomas H. Cook at £7.99 (pre-order); and the just-out Agatha Raisin and Kissing Christmas Goodbye by M. C. Beaton at £13.29 (list £18.99 but I doubt anyone would have to pay that anywhere).

There you go! Thanks, Laura. Any news on a better price on the Thomas Cook?

New addition for Movable Type From the Movable Type (makers of Typepad) newsletter: Movable Type just celebrated its six year anniversary on October 8, which is described as “Ben and Mena’s baby”, since it was originally created by our co-founders Ben and Mena Trott. And then, there was an even better birthday that we’re delighted to announce. Also created, designed, developed and launched by Ben and Mena is a new arrival: Penelope Frances Trott, born early in the morning on October 10. Baby, Mom, and Dad are all doing well, though they’re a little too tired to do much blogging themselves. We’re sure Ben and Mena will want to say something when they’re back in the loop in a little while, but until then, congrats! Click here to meet Penelope. Mena has designed many very nice headers for Vox blogs. Not sure if she's designed the one currently at Maxine's Book Reviews -- it is so easy to change designs on Vox that I do it all the time, and lose track -- they are always adding new ones, including "the Tudors" -- but have a look, it is very pretty. You can always read a few book reviews while you are there, as well...

Writers who blog Guardian Unlimited: Arts blog - books: My top blogging writers. Maxim Jakubowski identifies (link above) the writers' blogs he follows "religiously": Neil Gaiman, Belle de Jour (two obvious choices, not my cup of tea), Marie Phillips, Meg Gardiner (must try, didn't know she blogs), John Connelly (also highly recommended by Crime Always Pays, so worth a look-- though I loved his first two or three, have not enjoyed his last few books) and a couple of others (links at the post above). So, which writers' blogs do I follow? Not many, truth be told. I've looked at quite a few writers' blogs but they don't sustain my interest because they tend to be too self-regarding where their own books are concerned. Most of my favourites are readers' blogs, because they aren't trying to "push" anything. But one or two writers have blogs that I really like -- I've already mentioned Crime Always Pays (Declan Burke), to which I add Michael Walters, Susan Hill, Clare Dudman, Prairie Mary, Brian Sibley, Debi Alper, Henry Gee, Bill Liversidge. These are all blogs that I very much look forward to reading every night or every other night. Why is this? Well, they are not...
