West Wing-Related Spots

List posted 1 year ago

Though this beloved show has been completed for some years now, it still holds my heart strong. In fact, I'm watching the show right now! And my strong sentiment for the show also stands true for the wonderful actors who made up the West Wing. In honor of both, here are a handful of spots dedicated to the cast of the West Wing. Please come and join them!

Obviously not everyone is represented as of November 2008. If you decide to make a spot for unmentioned actors from the show, please let us know!

A Collaborative "If You Like..." Author Search

Opinion posted 1 year ago

This is a common phrase/question that people employ when asking us booksellers for suggestions for their friends and family. "Well, he/she loved so-and-so...what else is like that" In fact, that is very helpful when trying to recommend books, knowing other books & authors that they like.

But sometimes one can get stuck in a rut and cannot come up with a wide selection of suggestions. Let's help each other find new books based on books we already enjoy. Adult, young adult, whatever you like!

The Art of Covers

Opinion posted 1 year ago

A note to book-cover publishers: before you decide on a cover, go into a bookstore and head to the respective section. See the trend of tints and shades that color that genre. then pick a different color! It is astonishing that, even in this day and age, history books about China and Russia are still primarily red, books about Ireland are green, and "women's books"(i.e. Chick Lit and Self Help) are pastel pink, blue or yellow. Honestly, even murder mystery books, when targeted towards female readers, take on pink as opposed to the red and/or black of other mysteries.

Paperback Dreams

Opinion posted 1 year ago

We all love books. That's a given. But what about bookstores? What are your thoughts on them?

I'm just going to presume that you love bookstores, and even more, independent bookstores. But in this day and age when it is too easy to search for and buy books online *cough* Amazon *cough*, I want to remind all of the wonderfulness of independent bookstores. But I also want to remind you that they are suffering. These historical and community treasures need your help!

The Rocky Horror Remake: If MTV MUST Do it....

Opinion posted 1 year ago

Let me state first for the record that this is a horrible idea. Remake Rocky Horror Picture Show?! You might as well redo Seven Year Itch or Psycho (hang on....).

But the moment I realized that this is out of my hands and that MTV will do whatever the hell they want and make this regrettable remake, the only silver lining I can find is to make my own ideal cast of the hot & new that might possibly save this Titanic.

And now for my ideal cast for a least-than-ideal situation:
