A quick Link Salad today. I should learn to give myself the proper amount of time between books so I’m not freaking out when I should be relaxing. Then again, the freak-out is apparently part of the whole stinking process. ANYWAY.

* Go and read Fictionista’s A Case For Self-Defense. And when you’re done, enter to win a copy of The Gift of Fear. If you don’t win it, head on over to Amazon. It’s real, real cheap for a book that can save your life. (My review of Gift of Fear is here.) I swear, I make all my friends read this. I sound like I’m in a crazy-ass cult when I start talking about it.

* My current crop of pictures is here.

* OH. MY. GOD. Strange Angels has been mentioned in USA Today. I’m not sure whether to faint or celebrate.

* And here’s Neil Gaiman’s assistant Lorraine on the Top Ten Things Never To Send Your Favorite Writer. Just…trust her, okay?

* And a funny little Guardian piece about the “top ten grimoires”. You’d think a professor would have heard of New Falcon or S. Jason Black‘s work. Then again, it does have a picture of Buffy up at the top.

* Naked Capitalism. Does it get any better? The name alone is awesomeness, and the patient explanation of financial shenanigans just adds to it.

* And one more time–I’ve linked to Slacktivist’s dissection of the Left Behind books before. There, I just did it again. The most current post, about the combative misogyny in these wildly popular books, is thoughtful, thought-provoking, and all those high-quality things we’ve come to expect from Slacktivist.

* Last but not least, I now own a sweet, sweet copy of Beyond Heaving Bosoms, and Portland’s very own Smart Bitch Candy Tan is going to be at Beaverton Powell’s on April 15. (I will be heckling from the audience. I might even get her to sign a body part.)

So, there. Link salad. Mmmh, delicious. And spam-free!
